White House seeks to reassure after J&J vaccine pause
| The White House on Tuesday sought to reassure the public after health officials called for a pause on the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine because of rare cases of blood clots in vaccinated people.
Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, and Jeff Zients, the White House coordinator for the COVID-19 response, were added to the daily press briefing on Tuesday. Zients argued that the pause would not lead to a major hit to the U.S. vaccination effort. |
