FDA – US Food and Drug Administration, begränsar kraftigt användandet av Johnson & Johnsons preparat mot Covid-19 på grund av risk för allvarlig blodpropp. ”Jensen COVID-19 Vaccine” får nu endast ges till vuxna som inte får ges något av de andra preparaten eller specifikt begär att bli injicerad med J&J:s preparat.
”WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. regulators on Thursday strictly limited who can receive Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine due to the ongoing risk of rare but serious blood clots.
The Food and Drug Administration said the shot should only be given to adults who cannot receive a different vaccine or specifically request J&J’s vaccine. U.S. authorities for months have recommended that Americans get Pfizer or Moderna shots instead of J&J’s vaccine.
FDA’s vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks said the agency decided to restrict the vaccine after taking another look at the data on the risks of life-threatening blood clots and concluding that they are limited to J&J’s vaccine.”
