OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Jay Inslee says inoculations with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can begin in Washington state following a review by scientific experts in a western states work group. The Western States Scientific Safety Review work group met Friday to review data about the vaccine’s potential risks, after more than a dozen women nationwide developed rare blood clots. The federal Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday called for the 11-day pause on the J&J vaccine to be lifted after federal regulators reviewed data on blood clots and assess risks associated with the vaccine. Johnson & Johnson vaccine providers will now provide information about the risk and information about symptoms to watch for after vaccination.
