The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending that people who experience certain new symptoms after receiving Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine seek immediate medical treatment. The symptoms include sudden, severe headache, backache, new neurological symptoms, severe abdominal pain, shortness of breath, leg swelling, tiny red spots on the skin, and new or easy bruising.

While Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine is still authorized, the pause gives scientists time to review data and determine whether the vaccine is actually linked to the blood clots and, if so, whether recommendations on who should receive it should change.
