Latest Updates
California state officials have directed counties and other providers to pause the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine while federal agencies look into a possible but rare blood clotting side effect.
According to the Associated Press, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said the pause would neither affect plans to start inoculating all eligible adults on Thursday nor will it affect the state’s broad reopening plans set for mid-June.
Newsom and other high-profile California officials publicly received shots of the J&J vaccines in an attempt to demonstrate its safety. California was already expecting fewer J&J doses because of production issues.
