San Diego County Announces Pause Of Johnson & Johnson Vaccine

San Diego County is pausing use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. The announcement comes as the CDC and FDA are reviewing reports of a “rare and severe type of blood clot” that occurred in six people days after receiving the vaccine. Plus, a series of reports in the San Diego Union Tribune has been exploring bias in policing in San Diego. And ArcLight Cinemas and Pacific Theaters say they are closing all of their roughly 300 screens, including several locations in San Diego County. Then, SDSU’s Department of Sociology and Center for Community Research and Engagement will hold a talk on Acts of Hate, Immigration and the Pandemic. And community members in the Central Valley are offering street vendors patrolling and other services to help them feel less vulnerable. Finally, the San Diego Symphony is preparing to open its spectacular new waterfront venue, The Shell.
