The one day pop-up Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine site in Homestead has been canceled
Tuesday’s one-day vaccine event in Homestead was canceled by the state after Tuesday morning’s joint statement by the FDA & CDC recommending a halt to the usage of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, a city spokesperson said.
Six reports of a “rare and severe” kind of blood clotting caused the agencies to make their recommendation, the FDA said.
The 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. event at the FOP Lodge and Harris Field was to be a walk-up event lasting from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. or whenever the 400 doses of the single shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine ran out.
