Johnson & Johnson coronavirus\u00a0vaccine<\/a>, following the recommendation by a panel of experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<\/p>\n“We have concluded that the known and potential benefits of the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine outweigh its known and potential risks in individuals 18 years of age and older,” said Janet Woodcock, head of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a joint statement with the CDC.<\/p>\n
“We are no longer recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told a news conference, adding that resumption\u00a0of the J&J rollout would begin immediately.<\/p>\n
Walensky said “exceptionally rare” blood clots were identified, adding that regulators will continue to monitor the vaccine’s use.<\/p>\n
US health authorities halted the use of the J&J shot on April 14 after officials uncovered 15 vaccine recipients who developed a highly unusual kind of blood clot. Some\u00a08 million people have so far been given the one-dose J&J vaccine.<\/p>\n
What are the possible risks?<\/h2>\n
All the instances of blood clotting after receiving the J&J vaccine\u00a0occurred in\u00a0women,\u00a0most of whom were\u00a0under the age of 50. Three subsequently died, and seven remain hospitalized.<\/p>\n
CDC advisers said while J&J’s vaccine is important for fighting the pandemic, it’s also important that younger women are made aware of the risks in clear, understandable terms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The panel of experts voted 10-4 in favor of\u00a0lifting the\u00a011-day pause, while adding warnings that women and health workers would see in leaflets at vaccination centers.<\/p>\n
The panel had\u00a0debated the use of\u00a0outright age restrictions before electing not to implement such advice.<\/p>\n
It would appear younger people are more vulnerable and one member of the panel believed the advice does\u00a0not go far enough.<\/p>\n
“This\u00a0is an age group that is most at risk (of the clotting) that is getting the vaccine predominately to save other peoples’ lives, not their own. And I think we have a responsibility to be certain that they know this,” said Dr. Sarah Long of Drexel University College of Medicine, who voted against the proposal.<\/p>\n
