The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA for its acronym in English) indicated that so far no relationship between the Covid vaccine – 19 of the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson and cases of people with blood clots .

The FDA acknowledged the information on “some individuals” who suffered thrombi and low levels of platelets in the blood after receiving the vaccine, and assured: “We will keep the public informed as we have more data.”

For its part, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) indicated that it is investigating a possible link on the J&J compound and clot cases : “One case occurred in a clinical trial and three occurred during vaccination in E United States. One of them was fatal. ”

Although at the moment it is not attributed by the health authority that the thromboses are caused by the J&J vaccine, the ViveUSA site gave know that hundreds of people ready to get the vaccine against Covid – 19 by Johnson & Johnson were forced to leave the Dick’s Sporting Goods Park vaccination center in Commerce City, Colorado, after 11 vaccinated persons presented an adverse reaction to the dose , which required that two of them were transferred to a hospital for observation.

The symptoms that those affected presented were nausea and dizziness , but the state Health authorities ruled out that people should be concerned due to the adverse effects of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, since they assured that it is something normal.

On the other hand, the problems do not seem to stop for Johnson & Johnson, since that next week will reduce by 80 % The number of vaccines that will be delivered in the USA after the production problems that has registered at a Baltimore plant.

Last week the company shipped about 1.9 million doses and this week the figure rose to 4.9 million. But next week that number will drop to just 700, 01.

The decrease in delivery occurs days after federal authorities learned that a human error in Emergent BioSolutions , a contract manufacturer that has been manufacturing the Johnson & Johnson vaccines, ruined up 12 millions of doses for mixing substances .

The reduction will complicate the mass vaccination campaign carried out by the Biden administration , where the number of people candidates to receive doses is constantly increasing, since more than 80 states have open vaccines to all people older than 16 years.
