3 p.m. | FDA limits use of Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has limited the authorized use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to certain people after evaluating reported cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia (TTS). TTS is a syndrome of rare and potentially life-threatening blood clots in combination with low levels of blood platelets that may develop about one to two weeks following administration of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine may only be given to people aged 18 and older for whom other COVID-19 vaccines are not accessible or clinically appropriate, and to people aged 18 years and older who choose to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and would otherwise remain unvaccinated against COVID-19.
As of May 5, 2022, Colorado providers have administered 317,087 doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine since Johnson & Johnson received their EUA in Feb. 2021. That is 3.1% of the more than 10.3 million total doses of all COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in the state.
Coloradans who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, should get a dose of mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) two months or more after they first got vaccinated. If they got Johnson & Johnson for their first and second doses, they may then receive a third dose (second booster) of mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) four months after their second dose.
