Washington (AP) Most Americans should be given the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines instead of the Johnson & Johnson shot, which can cause a rare but serious blood clot, US health advisors recommended Thursday. The odd clotting problem has led to nine confirmed deaths after J&K vaccinations, advisers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, while Pfizer and Moderna Vaccines do not come with that risk and appear to be more effective. .
This is an unusual move and CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Valensky will have to decide whether to accept the panel’s advice. So far the US has treated all three COVID-19 vaccines available to Americans as an equal option, as large studies found they all offered strong protection and that initial supplies were limited. The J&J vaccine was initially hailed as a single-dose option that may be especially important for hard-to-reach groups such as the homeless who cannot get the required second dose of Pfizer or Moderna alternatives Is. But CDC advisers said Thursday it is time to recognize that much has changed since vaccines were introduced a year ago. More than 200 million Americans are believed to be fully vaccinated, including about 16 million who have received the J&J shot. (AP).
