Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Halted:

• Governor DeWine, Ohio Department of Health Director Stephanie McCloud, and Ohio Department of Health Chief Medical Officer Bruce Vanderhoff, M.D., directed all Ohio vaccine providers this morning to temporarily pause using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine following a recommendation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

• The recommendation was made after six people who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine experienced an extremely rare blood-clotting condition.

• The cases have occurred in women between 18 and 48 and the reactions have taken place within 6-13 days after receiving the vaccine.

• Approximately 6.8 M people have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in the U.S.

  • 264,311 of those vaccinations were administered in Ohio.

• The majority of the Ohio's Johnson & Johnson doses were directed to mass vaccination clinics and to 63 public and private 4-year colleges and universities, most of which have already completed their student vaccinations.

• Of the mass vaccination clinics and college/university clinics that did plan to offer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week, most will proceed with their clinics by offering either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.

• A total of eight sites will not offer any vaccines this week as the health community works to recognize, report, and manage any adverse events related to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

• There are many other local providers with open appointments for the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Visit www.gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov to look for open appointments.
