Johnson and Johnson vaccine

There are growing concerns as new data shows hospitalizations and deaths from COVID are tracking higher for the first time in months.

The recommendation was made after reports of rarely occurring but life-threatening blood clots that have appeared in the days or weeks after some have received the Johnson & Johnson shot. The recommendation was made after reports of rarely occurring but life-threatening blood clots that have appeared in the days or weeks after some have received the Johnson & Johnson shot. The FDA said Thursday that the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine should only be given to those who either don't have access to the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines or request only the J & J shot.

"Essentially, you lay down a lot of clots in places you shouldn't, in large veins," said Dr. Roberts. "The most worrisome one of the cerebral sinus vein which is a very large vein in the middle of your head and that's the one that's potentially fatal." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cites ongoing concerns over rare, but serious blood clots. Health experts added that rare blood clots are also an issue with the AstraZeneca vaccine which is being used in Europe. "They refer to it as a rogue response or an abnormal immune response where you have antibodies that are acting inappropriate," said Dr. Roberts. "That's the theory but no one really knows the cause." "What the FDA has done is they've looked at the other vaccines, specifically those from Pfizer/ Moderna and it has shown that the risk profile for J&J while very good, isn't quite as good as the risk profile for Pfizer and Moderna," said Scott Robertson, President, and CEO of Pacific Central Coast Health Centers in Santa Maria. The death rate for that group is about one in a million.

The announcement was based on an analysis for the risk of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that causes blood clots combined with low levels of blood platelets. “Johnson & Johnson continues to collaborate with health authorities and regulators around the world to ensure healthcare professionals and individuals are warned and fully informed about reports of TTS, enabling correct diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and expedited reporting. “We recognize that the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine still has a role in the current pandemic response in the United States and across the global community.

New research shows an aggressive but rare form of uterine cancer may be behind an increase in US death rates among Black women, The Associated Press reports, while over 8 years, figures show deaths from this type rose by 2.7% annually. As of March 18, figures show 60 J&J vaccine recipients developed TTS, 9 of whom died, with rates similar to those seen throughout the vaccine’s rollout. Indirect deaths were defined as patients who were unable to get treatment or preventive care for other health conditions due to the pandemic, while the numbers also take into account prevented deaths resulting from lower traffic and travel.

The Janssen vaccine rollout was first paused last spring after six cases of the rare blood clots were reported. More than 18.7 million doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the U.S. since it was first approved for emergency use, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. Researchers with the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the vaccine resulted in 60 confirmed cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday, making him the latest high-profile government official to do so. The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday limited its authorization of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to “individuals 18 years of age and older for whom other authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccines are not accessible or clinically appropriate, and to individuals 18 years of age and older who elect to receive the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine because they would otherwise not receive a COVID-19 vaccine.” The FDA made this decision because of a rare and dangerous clotting condition. The pause was lifted after 10 days and a warning label was added about the potential risks. “A single, five-year term is not enough time to complete the 27 cases that SIGPR is already working, let alone finish additional cases we may unearth in the coming months…therefore [we] respectfully ask Congress to extend SIGPR’s tenure another five years, to March 2030,” Miller wrote. “That budget will allow SIGPR to hire more investigators and auditors. “We are grateful to the president, who has recommended that Congress provide SIGPR $25 million until September 30, 2025,” Miller wrote, referring to President Biden’s fiscal 2023 budget request.

The FDA recommends the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines over Johnson & Johnson's due to a life-threatening side effect. Learn more about this condition.

The vast majority of vaccinated Americans have been inoculated with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which studies show are more effective against COVID-19 and have not been linked to TTS. But only 18.7 million doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the U.S., compared with 340.9 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech and 217.7 million of Moderna, CDC data shows. More analysis led the FDA to restrict who is eligible to receive the J&J vaccine. The J&J vaccine was authorized in February 2021. About 3.23 cases of TTS have been reported per 1 million J&J doses; some have been fatal. Health officials have since been monitoring and investigating all cases of TTS, which develops when blood clots form and an individual also has low levels of blood platelets.

New Jersey's seven-day average for confirmed cases increased to 2480 on Friday, up 20% from a week ago, and up 133% from a month ago.

The latest numbers follow a major study that reveals even a mild case of COVID-19 can significantly affect the brain. The Garden State has also recorded 316,822 positive antigen or rapid tests, which are considered probable cases. There were at least 131 people discharged in that same 24-hour period ending Thursday night, according to state data. That is the ninth day in a row the seven-day average has reached over 2000. The U.S. has reported the most cases (more than 81 million) and deaths (at least 996,986) of any nation. As of Friday, there have been more than 516 million COVID-19 cases reported across the globe, according to Johns Hopkins University, with more than 6.2 million people having died due to the virus. Since the start of the academic year, there have been 109,723 students and 31,356 school staff members who have contracted COVID-19 in New Jersey, though the state has never had more than two-thirds of the school districts reporting data in any week. More than 6.86 million of the 8.46 million eligible people who live, work or study in New Jersey have received the initial course of vaccinations and more than 7.78 million have received a first dose since vaccinations began here on Dec. 15, 2020. New Jersey has the eighth-most coronavirus deaths per capita in the U.S. — behind Mississippi, Arizona, Oklahoma, Alabama, Tennessee, West Virginia and Arkansas — as of the latest data reported Monday. Last summer, the state still had the most deaths per capita in the country. Two hospitals did not report data. New Jersey has reported 1,964,833 total confirmed COVID-19 cases out of more than 17.6 million PCR tests conducted in the more than two years since the state reported its first known case March 4, 2020. New Jersey on Friday reported eight COVID-19 deaths and 3,387 new confirmed positive tests as the FDA puts a stop to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in fear of possible blood clots.

The blood clotting condition TTS has occurred at a rate of about 3.25 cases per million vaccine doses administered.

Although the blood clotting cases remain rare, federal officials continue to recommend prioritization of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which have not produced the same concerns regarding severe blood clotting. To date, more than 6.22 million Michigan residents have gotten at least one dose of COVID vaccine. “We are pleased with the further restrictions placed on the J&J vaccine by the FDA announced yesterday,” said Tatum Strieter-Byron, Jacobs’ daughter. An exception will be made if an adult elects to receive the J&J shot and would otherwise not receive a COVID-19 vaccine. One such fatality is believed to have been Sandra Jacobs, a 60-year-old Saline woman, who died 13 days after she received the single-dose vaccine from a CVS pharmacy. Among those cases, nine individuals died.

Though some Americans sought out the J&J vaccine because it only required one dose, there has been an ongoing conversation about the shot’s efficacy and risks. The agency said only adults who cannot or will not get the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines should receive the J&J shot, citing new data showing a risk of ‘life-threatening blood clots.’ The agency said only adults who cannot or will not get the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines should receive the J&J shot, citing new data showing a risk of ‘life-threatening blood clots.’
