City of Dallas, VNA pause Johnson & Johnson in-home vaccinations

 
   
   
   
   

DALLAS - The City of Dallas and the Visiting Nurse Association of Texas (VNA) were scheduled to start in-home vaccinations today. However, Tuesday morning, the FDA and the CDC recommended we postpone distributing the vaccine. Both agencies confirmed this course of action due to clotting incidents with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Based on this guidance, the City will pause its in-home vaccine roll out until further notice.

The media availability today has been canceled as well. The City will provide more information as it becomes available.
