In clinical trials, approximately 21,895 individuals 18 years of age and older have received the Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine. Millions of people have received the vaccine under EUA since February 27, 2021.</p><h3>Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine has not undergone the standard review to be approved by the FDA for use. However, the FDA has also approved an EUA for the Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine to allow:

Symptoms of blood clots can include shortness of breath, chest pain. leg swelling. persistent abdominal pain, severe or persistent headaches, blurred vision, or petechiae (tiny red or purple spots on the skin) and may occur 1 to 2 weeks after vaccination. If any of these symptoms should occur, seek immediate medical attention. If you have a history of blood clots with low platelets following the Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine or AstraZeneca (not currently approved in the US) COVID-19 vaccines, you should not receive the Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine.</p></div></div></section><section><div id="app1" class="section"><div class="section-header"><div class="section-title"><h2>What is COVID-19?</h2></div><div class="section-button"><button type="submit" aria-controls="section-app1" role="button" title="Expand/Collapse section"><span class="icon icon-section-action">
