Vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted Friday to recommend resuming use of the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine.
An updated warning will be added to the label.
Members of the CDC's Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices agreed the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks from rare blood clots linked with the vaccine.
The language of the vote: "The Janssen Covid-19 vaccine is recommended for persons 18 years of age and older in the U.S. population under the FDA's emergency use authorization."

The vote was 10 in favor, four opposed and one abstention.

The risk from the J&J vaccine is small, much smaller than for COVID-19. Still, people who choose to get it should stay monitored for serious side effects.

You are more likely to die of covid if you are unvaccinated, than of dying from covid or blood clots if you have the J&J vaccine. It is the right decision.

6 out of 6M. Not so much as a peep from the Moderna and Pfizer vacs. I say go for it.
