CDC and FDA recommend US pause use of Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine over blood clot concerns
deleted.comThe US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Food and Drug Administration are recommending that the United States pause the use of Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine over six reported US cases of a "rare and severe" type of blood clot. The six reported cases were among more than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine administered in the United States. All six cases occurred among women ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination, according to a joint statement on Tuesday from Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC and Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.

They will probably be fine, blood clots are only affecting a specific range of people who got J&J. And even then it's a small % who have gotten clots, even fewer who were hospitalized.
It's looking like you have a better chance to get struck by lightning or win the lottery right now. 1/million isn't too worrying. If everyone in America got J&J, the clots wouldn't even be noticed by our healthcare system and I'm sure most of those 500 people would survive.
