Following a thorough safety review, the FDA and the CDC have determined that the recommended pause regarding the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine in the U.S. should be lifted and use of the vaccine should resume.
As part of the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), Arlington County Public health will follow that guidance and will resume administering the J&J vaccine immediately.
