Texas Department Of State Health Services Pausing J&J Vaccine Distribution

In line with guidance from the CDC and FDA, the Texas Department of State Health Services asks Texas vaccine providers to pause all administration of the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine until further notice.

Adverse events appear to be extremely rare, and they are further evaluating to ensure vaccine safety. People who have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine who develop a severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain, or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination should contact their health care provider.
