FDA LIMITS use of Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine due to risk of life-threatening blood clots - a year after it lifted pause on one-shot regimen taken by 18 million


….The Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday it will restrict the use of the Johnson & Johnson one-shot COVID-19 vaccine after an investigation revealed that those who got the jab were at increased risk of developing life-threatening blood clots.

….The decision comes following an investigation into reports of thrombosis and thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) - a rare and potentially life-threatening disease that creates blood clots and creates low levels of blood platelets - from those who have received the vaccine.
