- Today, out of an abundance of caution, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) paused the administration of the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine across all vaccination sites in the state.
- NJ TRANSIT has been administering the Moderna vaccine, although some NJ TRANSIT employees did receive the J&J vaccine at our Ferry Street Training Facility, through our partnership with Walgreens.
- Here is some additional information about this situation:
As of April 12, more than 6.8 million doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the U.S.
-
CDC and FDA are reviewing data involving six reported U.S. cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the J&J vaccine.
-
In these cases, a type of blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia).
-
All six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination.
