Last week, in accordance with recommendations from the CDC, the Oregon Health Authority asked all of the state’s vaccine providers to immediately pause administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution after 6 women experienced a rare and severe blood clot 1-3 weeks after receiving the vaccine.
