In reaching this decision, scientific and medical teams at the FDA and CDC reviewed a range of evidence and data regarding the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.

The agencies evaluated reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), reviewed medical literature, and took into account information from global regulatory partners on thrombosis and thrombocytopenia reported after the use of a similar but not identical COVID-19 vaccine with a virus from the adenovirus family modified to contain a gene that forms the SARS-CoV-2 protein.    

The six cases were reviewed and reported through an online database called Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) to CDC. VAERS is an open website that healthcare professionals and caregivers can use to inform the government about vaccine side effects.

On April 13, FDA and CDC (FDA and CDC) announced that six reports of a rare and severe type of blood clot in combination with low platelet levels in patients receiving the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine in VAERS were reported from the more than 6.8 million doses administered globally.    

As the use of COVID-19 vaccines begins in the United States, scientists and doctors are reviewing reports of side effects and other complications of vaccines. The World Health Organization (WHO) has said it will continue to monitor the safety response of regulators and that all vaccines should be safe and effective despite the serious risks of Covid-19.    

Although the efficacy rate of 66% is lower than the efficacy rate of Pfizer’s Moderna vaccine, it should be noted that clinical trials of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine took place in a different context, in a region where this variant was less common than in the United States, and during a period of significant increases in COVID-19 cases.    

In their FDA report, the agency points out that the Johnson’s Johnson vaccine was 66% effective at preventing moderate to severe COVID-19 diseases in an international study of 40,000 people — with half of the population being vaccinated and the other half being dosed with a placebo.

The clinical trials also showed that the vaccine is effective in preventing mild to moderate COV-19 and severe COvid-19. Data released by Johnson and Johnson indicate that a dose of the vaccine is 66% effective in preventing both moderate and severe Covid-19 diseases and 100% effective in preventing COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths.    

This vaccine has some common side effects with other COVID-19 vaccines, such as injection reactions, headaches and fatigue. The CDC recommends that this vaccine is the safest and most effective way to prevent Covid-19. This vaccine is effective in preventing serious illness and death associated with Covids19.    

After a thorough safety review, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration are confident that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is safe and effective in preventing COVID-19 and recommend that the vaccine continue to be used to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and deaths from COVID.

In April 2021, the vaccine was suspended while the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigated a rare case of severe blood clots in a woman who had been given the vaccine. CDC and FDA confirmed the safety of the vaccine, and NCDH recommended providers resume administration of it in North Carolina.    

After careful review by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the CDC recommends returning the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to use. Johns Hopkins Medicine follows CDC guidelines for the pause and resumption of use of this vaccine.    

Johnson & Johnson had administered 8 million doses in the U.S. at the time the pause occurred. The response was rare, and federal health officials made the decision to suspend the vaccine for a host of precautions until further research could be done.

Federal health officials ruled that J & J was the one making a vaccine that was critical to fighting the pandemic and that the low risk of clots could be treated with warnings to help young women decide whether to use the vaccine or an alternative.    

A review of the data available at the time showed that the known potential benefits of vaccines outweighed the known potential risks. Vaccines offer broad, low-risk protection without the occasional side effects of other medicines and medical therapies.

Ensuring the safety of vaccines is important because they are given to healthy people to treat sick people, and identifying which groups see the greatest benefit and harm can lead to graduated recommendations.    

Women under 50 should be aware that rare side effects are known and that other COVID-19 vaccines are available. The J-JS vaccine does not eliminate the disease, but it does make Covid-19 more bearable.

Monitoring of vaccine safety will continue as new information will be provided as needed on the syndromes in a small number of people who received the Janssen CoV-19 vaccine to the CDC’s independent advisory committee on vaccine practices.    

There is no evidence that the J-JS shot helps prevent the spread of the virus in the FDA review. People vaccinated with the vaccine in the study contracted a so-called “ground-breaking” infection that has much milder symptoms.    

It is particularly useful for young people, indispensable workers and people who are homeless and may not be able to overcome social distance or face major barriers to accessing vaccine test sites.    

In approximately 10 countries, 44,000 people have successfully completed clinical trials verifying the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness. Clinical trials conducted by the FDA led to the approval of the emergency vaccine.

Although the single dose is simple to store and has logistical advantages that make it an attractive option, it is important to understand that the recent suspension in J & J’s adult vaccine is due to the administration of vaccines for a rare blood clot in the brain that combines low platelets with cerebral vein thrombosis (thrombocytopenia, or TTS).

The suspension has now been lifted and the J & J vaccine is now recommended for everyone aged 18 and over, as amended by the emergency authorization, including additional warnings and precautions for women under 50.    

The J-J vaccination was administered worldwide to approximately 8 million people in April. CDC and FDA (FDA and CDC) reviewed data on 15 reported cases of cerebral TTS in people who were vaccinated. Most women were between 18 and 48 years old, and symptoms developed six to 13 days after vaccination.
