Latest Updates
| Following a thorough safety review, the CDC and FDA have determined that the recommended pause regarding the use of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine in the U.S. should be lifted and use of the vaccine should resume. Alameda County and City of Berkeley will align with other Bay Area counties and will plan to resume the use of our modest, existing supply of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as quickly as possible. Health care providers administering the vaccine and vaccine recipients or caregivers should review the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers Administering Vaccine (Vaccination Providers) and Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers, which have been revised to include information about the risk of this syndrome, which has occurred in a very small number of people who have received the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. If you received the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine within the past three weeks, seek medical care right away if you develop severe headache, backache, blurred vision, fainting, seizures, severe pain in your abdomen, stomach, or chest, leg pain, leg swelling, shortness of breath, tiny red spots on the skin (petechiae), or new or easy bruising or bleeding. |
