Many people who received the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine are concerned about possibly developing blood clots.
But Health experts said these side effects are rare, and that the CDC and FDA recommended halting the administration of the vaccine out of an abundance of caution following reports of blood clots associated with the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
Still, even though health experts say developing a blood clot from the vaccine is extremely rare, they recommend always watching for symptoms.
Harrisburg University Professor Dr. Nancy Mimm, who leads the University’s M.S. in Nursing program, recently discussed the issue with Fox43 news.
““I would highly recommend that people just take a breath and realize this is a very small number,” said Dr. Nancy Mimm of the amount of people who have developed blood clots in response to the vaccine.
Experts say the chances of developing a blood clot due to the vaccine is so low that one’s chances of getting struck by lightning are higher than developing side effects from the drug.
