Following federal guidance, Minnesota pauses use of Johnson & Johnson vaccine

A vial of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine
A vial of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is displayed at South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore, N.Y., in March. Federal authorities are investigating blood clots in six women who got the shot. While the side effects appear to be exceedingly rare, state officials say they are pausing use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in an abundance of caution.
