Raleigh, N.C. — Now that Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine has received a vote of confidence from health officials, providers need to line up people willing to get the shot. Within two hours of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel voting Friday in favor of resuming use of the vaccine, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration lifted the hold on the vaccine. Federal health officials halted use of the vaccine last week amid reports that a handful of women had developed a blood-clotting disorder after getting their shots. Shortly before the “pause,” North Carolina received 150,000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine – its largest single allotment of any vaccine to date.
