On April 13, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) released a joint statement recommending a temporary pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine to review data involving six reported U.S. cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving this vaccine. Wyoming is following this recommendation.
If you have recently received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine and develop severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain, or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination, contact your healthcare provider, or seek medical care.
