WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 U.S. regulators on Thursday strictly limited who can receive Johnson & Johnson\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine<\/a> due to the ongoing risk of rare but serious blood clots.<\/a><\/p>\n

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\u2019s vaccine. U.S. authorities for months have recommended that Americans starting their COVID-19 vaccinations use the Pfizer or Moderna shots instead.<\/p>\n

FDA officials said in a statement that they decided to restrict J&J\u2019s vaccine after taking another look at data on the risk of life-threatening blood clots within two weeks of vaccination.<\/p>\n

J&J\u2019s vaccine was initially considered an important tool in fighting the pandemic because it required only one shot. But the single-dose option proved less effective than two doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.<\/p>\n

In December, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> recommended prioritizing Moderna and Pfizer shots over J&J\u2019s because of its safety issues. Previously, U.S. officials had treated all three vaccines similarly because they\u2019d each been shown to offer strong protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
