VH pauses Johnson and Johnson vaccinations
Valley Health (VH) will discontinue the Johnson and Johnson (J&J)vaccine administration until further notice.
Future vaccinations will be transitioned to the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine for the time being.
This is due to a rare but serious side effect of the possibility of a blood clot which has developed in some who have received the J&J vaccine.
Valley Health has identified those who have already been vaccinated with the J&J vaccine and are reaching out to them.
You can email any questions to c19vaccineteam@valleyhealthlink.com.
