Recently, the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine was allowed to resume after a short pause.* We’d like to take a moment to explain why this happened and what is being done to ensure vaccine safety.
How vaccines are monitored*Please visit the CDC's website for more information about the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, including information about a very small number of reports involving a rare and severe type of blood clot in people who have received it. No one has reported similar blood clotting events associated with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. If you have questions about COVID-19 vaccines, please talk to your doctor.
