California’s pause on using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as federal agencies examine a possible and rare side effect is unlikely to affect vaccination efforts in the nation’s most populous state as it moves to start inoculating people 16 and older this week.
State officials directed counties and other providers on Tuesday to halt use of the vaccine per federal recommendation. But Gov. Gavin Newsom said he does not expect the halt to “materially impact our ability to fulfill our expectations.” Vaccinations are expected to be available for people 16 and older Thursday and California plans to lift most pandemic restrictions in mid-June.
State epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan said California will convene a regional scientific safety workgroup to review information provided by the federal government. The review group created by California and joined by Nevada, Washington and Oregon approved Johnson & Johnson for use on March 3. California got its first shipment of the shots that week.
Newsom, a Democrat, created the group amid fears that former President Donald Trump’s administration would politicize the approval process. The group reviewed the FDA’s approval of the shot and deemed it safe and effective.

Of course not, what will affect it is the upcoming recall. I figure COVID will be history by then, banned by the media, etc.
So long as they can stoke the fires of racial animus and riots they can distract from CCP-19
J&J is on the outside looking in. This is about politics, not science.
“Vaccinations are expected to be available for people 16 and older Thursday “
Maybe they should get all the old people vaccinated first?
Uncle Gavin is “running scared” and he is in full on protect his ass mode now that the recall signatures have landed.
Uncle Gavin created this mess, left good citizens to rot in limbo, forced struggling businesses to chase magical safety measures costing thousands just to be shut down repeatedly at Gavin’s wet finger in the wind decisions.
He can go straight to hell, rot there and move onto his new career as a CNN contributor.
Couldn’t care less; I wont be getting any companies witches brew.
Vaccines normally take a few years and a lot of testing, this was rushed for political reasons, by REPUBLICRATS and DEMOCANS!
Conveniently driving people towards the mrna vax’.
