WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Anthony Fauci says the United States will likely move to resume Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine this coming week, possibly with restrictions or broader warnings after reports of some very rare blood clot cases. Fauci says he expects a decision when advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention meet Friday to discuss the pause in J&J’s single-dose vaccine. He says he doubts “very seriously” that regulators would just “cancel” the vaccine, but instead expects possible restrictions, perhaps based on age or gender. The J&J vaccine has been in limbo after health regulators said last week they needed more evidence to decide if a handful of unusual blood clots were linked to the shot.
