JUNEAU, ALASKA -- The state health department Tuesday said upcoming appointments for the single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in Alaska are being cancelled or delayed after federal agencies recommended a "pause" to review reports of rare but potentially dangerous blood clots.

Dr. Joe McLaughlin, the state epidemiologist, said people with appointments for the other COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use in the U.S., the two-dose Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, should continue with their appointments. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration said they were investigating six cases of a rare type of blood clot, all involving women. One patient died.

State health officials said they have in stock Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that providers could offer instead but acknowledged some people have specifically sought out the J&J vaccine.

US clearly cares a lot more about people's lives, where as Canada pushed for AZ even with the known risk. All our gov and media did was kept spreading disinformation, and tried so hard to make people take AZ.

The Johnson & Johnson & Astra COVID Vaccine have way too high of a blood clot rate. Trust me it's only going to be a matter of time before both are taken out of commission.
