Yesterday, the FDA recommended pausing the use of Johnson and Johnson’s vaccine to study cases of a rare blood clot disorder that six American women developed 1-3 weeks after receiving the shot. One woman died and another is in critical condition. Despite this prompt response by the FDA, many are left concerned about whether it's still safe to get the shot.

Axios Re:Cap digs into how this recommendation was likely made, why and how to understand it with Julie Morita, executive vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, who has served on the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, as commissioner for the Chicago Department of Public Health, and on the Biden COVID-19 advisory board.
