Johnson & Johnson vaccine can be distributed with warning, advisers to CDC say
Change comes after vaccine was temporarily halted while scientists investigated rare but dangerous blood clots
Independent advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine should be distributed with a warning label affixed, but that the benefits of preventing Covid-19 still outweigh the risks of rare blood clots.
The change comes after distribution of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was temporarily halted while scientists investigated rare but dangerous blood clots with low platelet counts linked to the shot.
