After Ohio and Washington reapproved the use of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine, providers are slowly beginning to offer it as an option again. Despite the pause, people looking to get a COVID-19 vaccine from Columbus Public Health are already seeking out the Johnson & Johnson shot, said Dr. Mysheika Roberts, health commissioner. "I'm pleasantly surprised," Roberts said. "What that tells me is: 1. That people like the one-dose option and 2. That people have really looked at the science and the benefits far outweigh the risks." The J&J vaccine was paused April 13 after six initial cases of rare yet serious blood clots were discovered in recipients of the shot. It was allowed to resume Friday after the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control concluded it was safe and the clots were exceedingly uncommon.
