The FDA has announced the distribution of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine will be paused after six women in the U.S. had rare blog-clotting after receiving the vaccine. The women ranged in ages from 18 to 48, and while six people may not seem like a lot precautions are being taken swiftly. There have been approximately 6.8 million shots given with the majority of people not having issues.
The pausing of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine does not affect the other two vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. But if you did receive the Johnson & Johnson shot and are having to severe stomach pain, leg cramps, or severe headaches you should call your healthcare provider right away. If you do not know what shot you received, check your CDC vaccination card where it is noted what brand shot you received. If you have an appointment scheduled to receive the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, it is advised to call your provider for further directions.

Notable Black Folks Who Have Contracted COVID-19
[caption id="attachment_3922658" align="alignnone" width="728"] Source: askmenow / Getty[/caption] UPDATED: 5:15 a.m. ET, July 19, 2021 -- After months of seeing the coronavirus ravage other parts of the world, COVID-19's widespread effect on the U.S. has increasingly hit home for many Americans as states see as a continuous stream of people become diagnosed with the respiratory illness that turned into a global pandemic. And after a brief spate of the fake news that Black people were somehow immune to contracting the coronavirus, a steady and troubling number of Black folks -- including those who are notable and famous -- have not only since been diagnosed but many have also died of complications from it. [caption id="attachment_4175573" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Source: ADRIAN DENNIS / Getty[/caption] Cori "Coco" Gauff, a teenage professional tennis phenom, on Sunday became the most recent public figure to have contracted COVID-19. The 17-year-old who is fresh off of competing in Wimbledon said her diagnosis will prevent her from playing in the upcoming Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo. It would have been the neophyte's first Olympic Games. “I am so disappointed to share the news that I have tested positive for COVID and won’t be able to play in the Olympic Games in Tokyo,” Gauff, who made history as a 15-year-old when she beat Venus Williams at Wimbledon in 2019, wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday afternoon. “I want to wish Team USA best of luck and a safe games for every Olympian and the entire Olympic family.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CRerobagc3c/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link It was not immediately clear if Gauff had been vaccinated, but health officials have long warned that receiving the vaccine does not make someone immune to contracting COVID-19. Instead, the vaccine helps prevent hospitalizations and deaths. Gauff became the latest professional athlete to announce their Olympics futures have been affected because of COVID-19. Two men's basketball players on Team USA last week might not be able to compete in Tokyo because of pandemic protocols put in place. While Bradley Beal and Jerami Grant did not test positive for COVID-19, they have effectively been placed under quarantine for at least 10 days. The opening ceremony for the Olympics is scheduled to begin Friday. Gauff's and the other diagnoses have continued to shatter misconceptions about who can contract the coronavirus. When the pandemic first hit, it was believed that the elderly with underlying health conditions were most at risk. And while that remains true, there has recently been a surge of cases involving younger age groups -- thanks in no small part to the delta variant -- and people who had no pre-existing health conditions before their COVID-19 diagnoses. Throughout it all, Black people, in particular, have remained a constant fixture among those who have been diagnosed with or died of complications from the coronavirus as friends and family grieve their loved ones across the country. One of the first clearest indications that Black people could indeed contract the coronavirus came last year when COVID-19 began to affect players in the NBA, a professional sports league that is made up of more than 74 percent of players who are Black. After that came announcements from celebrities who offered cautionary tales to the public about how they may have contracted the illness and ways to prevent others from repeating their errors. The nation's system of prisons and jails has also been affected, leaving the disproportionate number of Black inmates increasingly susceptible to the coronavirus. That was especially true in New York, including at the infamous Rikers Island complex where CBS News reported that at one point last year, the coronavirus infection rate was "more than seven times higher than the rate citywide and 87 times higher than the country at large." In addition, the nation's police departments were at risk for the same reasons as the jails and prisons. Scroll down to see a list of notable Black folks who have contracted the coronavirus as the world tries to flatten the global curve of cases to restore some semblance of societal normalcy. They follow in alphabetical order.
