DALLAS — Following a joint statement from the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday morning, the City of Dallas is putting the brakes on a plan to offer in-home vaccinations that make use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

According to city leaders, Dallas and the Visiting Nurses Association of Texas were slated to start those at-home vaccinations on Tuesday.

However, the FDA and CDC have recommended the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine not be used for the time being because six U.S. recipients of it have developed a rare disorder that involves blood clots.

"Right now, these adverse events appear to be extremely rare," the agencies said. "Treatment of this specific type of blood clot is different from the treatment that might typically be administered."

The City of Dallas says in-home vaccinations involving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine are paused until further notice.

In addition, Dallas County Health & Human Services Tuesday morning tweeted that it is pausing the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at its Fair Park vaccination site. It said the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines will remain available, however.
