Washington state resumes distribution of Johnson & Johnson vaccine
Washington will resume its distribution of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, Gov. Jay Inslee announced Saturday.
The decision comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration lifted the temporary pause on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
During a news briefing Friday, Jeff Duchin of Public Health — Seattle & King County, said based on the information presented, the "benefit risk ratio of this vaccine favors its continued use."
"The benefits clearly outweigh the risks, but people do need to understand the risks and be able to make a choice about what vaccine they prefer and what vaccine is best for their particular situation," he said.
