Federal partners have recently alerted us about a small number of serious adverse events involving the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine.

While these events appear to be extremely rare, out of an abundance of caution we have paused the administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in New York City, effective today, Tuesday, April 13.
Adverse events are reported nationally and the actions being taken reflect how seriously we take signals from our warning system.
As someone who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and as the city’s doctor, I continue to believe in the urgency of our #COVID19 vaccination efforts for the protection of our city. We will proceed with administering the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to beat back the pandemic.
