I got the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. Now what? Don't panic. U.S. health officials on Tuesday recommended pausing vaccinations with J&J's shot as they look into reports of six clots out of nearly 7 million doses given in the country.
Health officials say to be vigilant, but to remember that reports of blood clots that may be associated with J&J’s single-dose vaccine are exceedingly rare. “It’s less than one in a million," said Dr.
Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease specialist. Common side effects after getting a COVID-19 vaccine can include arm pain and normal flu-like symptoms for a couple days afterward.
