'I was looking for one shot': Kansas, Missouri face fallout from J&J vaccine pause Jonathan Shorman and Jeanne Kuang, The Kansas City Star Apr. 13—Rohn Dennis was supposed to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine on Wednesday. That's now on hold. The 74-year-old Kansas City resident has been receiving treatment for lung cancer. It's in remission, but his medication makes getting out a hit-and-miss proposition, so he signed up for a program that vaccinates people at home. "Like a lot of people, I was looking for one shot, it's over with," Dennis said. Health authorities in Kansas City and across the country suspended use of the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended a pause. The agencies cited six cases of a rare and severe blood clot that had developed in the United States amid the nearly 7 million people who have received the shot, saying they needed time to evaluate data on the incidents.
