Health authorities in the US have recommended a pause in the use of the Johnson and Johnson Covid vaccine.
In a joint statement , the Federal Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control say the move is out of an abundance of caution.
It's after 6 reported US cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the vaccine, out of almost 7 million doses administered.
The FDA says the adverse events appear to be extremely rare.
