(Reuters) – The rate of blood clots following Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine appears to be higher than previously estimated, a subcommittee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expert panel said on Thursday.
Cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, which involves blood clots accompanied by a low level of platelets, have previously been reported in recipients of the J&J vaccine.
