The Youngstown City Health District is temporarily suspending the administration of the Johnson & Johnson (Jannsen) vaccine.
The action is in response to a statement by the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommending a pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine following extremely rare blood-clotting events of six people in the United States after receiving the vaccine.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccination clinic scheduled today at Youngstown State University has been canceled.
Johnson & Johnson vaccination clinics scheduled for April 14 and Thursday, April 22 at the Covelli Centre have been canceled.
The Youngstown City Health District has appointments available for two Moderna vaccination clinics (Tuesday, April 20 and Wednesday, April 21). The clinics will be held at Congregation Rodef Sholom, 1119 Elm St., Youngstown, Ohio 44505. To schedule an appointment, visit covid19.youngstownohio.gov….
