COVID-19 Vaccine Update
At the recommendation of the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the Indian Health Service has lifted its pause of Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine administration. The pause was lifted the evening of April 23. Indian Health Service facilities will resume administering the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.
IHS originally paused administration of the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine to allow the FDA and CDC to review data involving six reported U.S. cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals receiving the vaccine. IHS has vaccine safety monitoring systems in place. To date, there have been no cases reported through IHS of the rare and severe type of blood clot seen in some individuals who have received the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.
