JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) _
Missouri announced Tuesday that it is ``pausing'' administration of the
single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after federal health officials
began an investigation into potentially dangerous blood clots. Dr. Randall
Williams, director of the state's Department of Health and Senior Services, said
in a news release that Missouri was taking the step out of ``an abundance of
caution.'' The move came after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and the Food and Drug Administration said they were investigating unusual clots
in six women that occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination.
