CBS Dallas/Fort Worth April 24, 2021 Healthcare providers can once again start giving out the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. The FDA and CDC officially lifted the pause that was put in place last Tuesday, April 13, despite concerns over a potential link to rare and deadly blood clots. "Together both agencies have full confidence that this vaccine's known and potential benefits outweigh its known and potential risks in individuals 18 years of age and older," said Janet Woodcock, acting FDA Commissioner.
