THEY HAVE A LOT OF MODERNA AND PFIZER SUPPLY. SO IT SHOULD NOT PUT A BIG PAUSE ON THE VACCINE ROLLOUT. OVERALL. ONE THING THEY STRESS THOUGH. IS THAT IF YOU HAVE GOTTEN THE JOHNSON & JOHNSON VACCINE KEEP IN MIND THESE BLOOD CLOT REACTIONS WERE HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT OUR INCREDIBLY RARE WE KNOW OF SIX CASES IN THE 7 MILLION SHOTS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUT THEY DID SAY IF YOU DID GET THAT SHOT WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. OUR COUPLE OF SYMPTOMS YOU JUST WANT TO TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR? THIS ADVERSE REACTION OCCURRED WITHIN TWO WEEKS AFTER ADMINISTRATION IN THE SIX RECORDED CASES IF LOT OF VACCINE MO THAN A MONTH AGO YOUR RISK OF BLOOD CLOTTING IS VERY LOW HEALTH OFFICIALS SAYING TONIGHT THAT IF YOU GOT THE J&J SHOT WITHIN THE PAST FEW WEEKS JUST KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR A HEADACHE THAT DOESN’T GO AWAY ABDOMINAL PAIN LEG PAIN OR SHORTNESS OF BREATH. THESE ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE MILD FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS THAT MANY PEOPLE GET AFTER THE SHOT IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF THE J&J SHOT HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR, BUT THEY ALSO SAY YOU SHOULDN’T BE ANXIOUS OR WORRIED THE R IS EXTREMELY RARE RIGHT NOW? IT’S NOT CLEAR HOW LONG THE J&J PAWS WILL LAST BUT HEALTH OFFICIALS DON’T WANT IT TO MAKE PEOPLE HESITANT TO GET VACCINATED. THAT IS OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE BIG CONCERNS IS THAT SOMEBODY WILL TAKE THIS ISSUE AND APPLY IT ACROSS THE BOARD TO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS THAT THE VACCINES ARE NOT SAFE AND THAT’S JUST NOT TRUE THE LESSON I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT PEOPLE REALLY TAKE OUT OF THIS IS HOW SENSITIVE OUR MONITORING SYSTEM IS THAT WE’RE ABLE TO PICK THIS UP. YEAH, ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND AS WELL IS THE FACT THAT PART OF THE REASON FOR THIS PAUSE IS SO THEY CAN TALK TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND DOCTORS ABOUT HOW TO TREAT THESE VERY RARE BLOOD CLOT INSTANCES WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DO HAPPEN PART OF THE REASON IS BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY THAN TYPICAL BLOOD CLOTS. SO THEY WANT TO LET DOCTORS KNOW THAT YOU MAY CONSIDER THAT THEY MAY WANT TO ASK IF THEY’VE GOTTEN THE JOHNSON AND AND SHOT RECENTLY. SO THAT’S PART OF THE REASON FOR THE PAUSE. THEY’RE ALSO OF COURSE INVESTIGATING THIS SEEING IF THEY CAN ESTABLISH A LINK BETWEEN THE TWO WE DO KNOW THAT THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE A TEMPORARY PAUSE AND WE DO THINK WE’LL LEARN MORE TOMORROW AT WHEN A COMMITTEE INSIDE THE CDC OF THEIR INDEPENDENT EXPERTS ABOUT VACCINATIONS MEETS THAT WILL BE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WE’LL LEARN A LOT MORE THAN OF COURSE. WE WILL KEEP FOLLOWING IT
