The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have issued a joint recommendation that all Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID19 vaccinations be placed on pause until they have an opportunity to examine a rare, but potentially significant side effect.  At this point the concern only relates to the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and does not impact either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.    

Consistent with the recommendations of the CDC, FDA and Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) Health Ministries Clinic (HMC) will not be providing the Johnson & Johnson vaccine until these concerns have been addressed.
