US halts Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine shipments: report
Fox News
Federal officials suspended new shipments of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine doses in a bid to relieve states’ pileup of expiring doses, according to a report.
The Journal cited health officials from several states, like Oklahoma and Illinois, who reportedly said they could not order new J&J doses in the last weeks. Some said they have enough supply. The backlog in unused doses is allegedly due in part to an 11-day federally recommended pause in J&J vaccinations as officials probed rare reports of blood clots. The pause resulted in many canceled appointments without rescheduled time slots. When compounded with vaccine hesitancy, the pause inadvertently resulted in a pileup of unused doses.More Related News
