The Philadelphia Department of Public Health has paused distribution of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine following the recommendations by the CDC and US Food and Drug Administration after reports of rare blood clotting disorder in six recipients of the shot.

Starting today, the FEMA-run Center City vaccination clinic has again started administering first doses of the Pfizer vaccine instead of the previously planned J & J vaccinations. This clinic will continue with the Pfizer vaccine for the foreseeable future and will maintain the current 6,000 appointments and walk-ups per day, according to an announcement by the Health Department. UPDATE: The site will continue operating until May 26.
