A mass vaccination clinic that was planned at the stadium where the Kansas City Chiefs play has been canceled due to the suspension of the use of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
KSHB-TV reports that the clinic had been planned for April 29-30. But the Jackson County Health Department said it had to be canceled because Arrowhead Stadium and National Guard were not available to administer a second dose if they were to use the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
Use of the J&J vaccine was put on hold last week after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration said they were investigating reports of rare but potentially dangerous blood clots. Other appointments are still available in both Kansas and Missouri.
