Did You Get a Johnson & Johnson Vaccine? Here's What You Need to Know

The Arizona Department of Health Services is recommending a pause in the use of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, following the guidance of federal officials. The University of Arizona does not administer the J&J vaccine and only administers the Pfizer vaccine. The estimated risk of a blood clot from the J&J vaccine is about 1 in a million while the overall risk of dying if you get COVID-19 is about 1 in 100, said Deepta Bhattacharya, an associate professor of immunobiology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson.
