What to do if you got the Johnson and Johnson Vaccine amid blood clot fears
The US is pausing the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus-vaccine rollout after reports of a rare type of blood clot in six out of 6.8 million people who got the vaccine. All the people affected were women between 18 and 48 years old.
The women developed a type of blood clot known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, and they had low levels of blood platelets.
While the adverse event is rare, J&J vaccine recipients may be concerned. Insider asked Dr. Alex Spyropoulos, an expert on blood clots at Northwell Health in New York, about what you should do if you already got the J&J vaccine.
