People who have just received the coronavirus vaccine made by the US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson should keep an eye on any symptoms of blood clots and thrombosis, being ready to see a doctor immediately. It is the recommendation of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contained in the updated guidelines. “Although the risk is extremely low, people with persistent headaches, blurred vision, shortness of breath, chest pain, leg swelling, persistent abdominal pain or unusual bruising within three weeks of receiving the J&J vaccine should receive treatment quickly. medical “, explain from the CDC. On Friday, April 23, the CDC Immunization Advisory Committee recommended that the United States resume administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine against Covid-19, ensuring that the benefits clearly outweigh the risk factors. The recommendation, which was adopted with ten votes in favor, four against and one abstention, will pave the way for US regulators to lift the suspension of administration this weekend. The committee, an external group of experts tasked with advising the CDCs, decided last week to postpone its decision on the vaccine, while officials continued to investigate the cases of six women, between the ages of 18 and 48. years, who developed thrombosis about two weeks after injecting the J&J vaccine. Following these events, on April 13 the Food and Drug Administration (Fda) – the US agency that regulates food and pharmaceutical products – asked the States to temporarily suspend the use of the preparation in question as a precaution.
