Federal health agencies on Tuesday called for a pause in the use of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus shot as they examine a rare blood-clotting disorder that emerged in six recipients.
Every state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico halted their rollout of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine almost immediately. The same went for the U.S. military, federally run vaccination sites, and CVS, Walgreens, and other stores.
Today, science writer Carl Zimmer explains the decision-making process, how long the suspension might last and the impact it could have not only in the U.S. but around the world.
Guest: Carl Zimmer (https://www.nytimes.com/by/carl-zimmer), a science writer and author of the “Matter” column for The New York Times.

Injections of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/health/johnson-johnson-covid-19-vaccine.html?smid=pc-thedaily) came to a sudden halt across the United States on Tuesday after federal health agencies called for a pause in the vaccine’s use (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/13/us/politics/johnson-johnson-vaccine-blood-clots-fda-cdc.html?smid=pc-thedaily).
The pause could continue for a week to 10 days (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/14/health/cdc-johnson-vaccine-pause.html?smid=pc-thedaily), after expert advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined on Wednesday that they needed more time to assess a possible link to a rare but serious blood-clotting disorder.
What does the pause mean for people who have recently received the Johnson & Johnson shot and how common are blood clots? Here’s what you need to know (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/13/health/blood-clots-johnson-vaccine.html?smid=pc-thedaily).
Safety worries about the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/13/world/europe/covid-vaccines-astrazeneca-johnson-johnson.html?smid=pc-thedaily) have jeopardized inoculation campaigns far beyond the United States. The actions of American and European officials have stoked doubts in poorer countries (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/14/world/europe/western-vaccines-africa-hesitancy.html?smid=pc-thedaily), where a history of colonialism and unethical medical practices have left a legacy of mistrust in vaccines.
