OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska officials said they will stop distributing Johnson & Johnson's coronavirus vaccine while federal officials investigate six reports of people developing blood clots after receiving that shot, including one case in the state.
The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services said last week that an individual in Douglas County in their late 40s had developed blood clots two weeks after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The J&J vaccine was a relatively small part of the state’s plans this week because officials expected to receive only 3,300 doses of it after getting 27,600 doses last week.
Nebraska is expecting to receive 90,250 doses of the other two coronavirus vaccines this week.
