DPH said in a release Friday that eight people experienced the reactions at their Cumming Fairgrounds vaccination site on Wednesday, April 7. One of those people was sent to the hospital and was later released. The other seven were monitored at the vaccination site and sent home, DPH said. DPH said the reactions these adults experienced were “consistent with common reactions in adults being vaccinated with any vaccine,” but said that because of the high number of people experiencing reactions that day, they’re stopping the J&J vaccinations.
