DENVER - Today, Governor Jared Polis released a statement following the news that the FDA has recommend lifting the pause on the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine for all adults and adding a label about an extremely uncommon, but potentially dangerous, blood clotting disorder:
“I’m glad to hear that after carefully reviewing data and proceeding with appropriate caution, the FDA is recommending that we resume using the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in our efforts to vaccinate people against this deadly virus. The vaccine, which requires just one shot, is especially helpful in our efforts to protect those who may be transient, lack a medical home, or have transportation challenges, and Colorado will be resuming use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. While this vaccine is approved for those 18 and up, all Coloradans 16 and up are eligible for a vaccine and I urge everyone to get it, so that together we can power the Colorado comeback.”
