Forsyth County Reports Higher No-Show Rate For Vaccination Appointments Amid Side Effects Concerns by April Laissle 5:40pm Apr 13, 2021 Forsyth County's top public health official says recent media attention on the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) shot has already increased vaccine hesitancy. DAVID ZALUBOWSKI/AP Forsyth County, Novant Health, and Wake Forest Baptist Health are all pausing the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after rare blood clots were reported in six patients. Forsyth County's top public health official says the news has already increased vaccine hesitancy. About 1,600 appointments at the county’s most recent weekend mass vaccination event were canceled. That’s a no-show rate of about 25%. Public Health Director Joshua Swift says that’s more than double the rate they saw at their last event.
