LIVE
LIVE FROM
LIVE FROM IDAHO'S NEWSCHANNEL SEVEN THIS IS THE NEWS AT SIX.
THE F-D-A AND C-D-C
ARE NOW CALLING FOR A
PAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO
THE USE OF THE JOHNSON
AND JOHNSON VACCINE.
THIS, AFTER REPORTS --
SIX WOMEN WHO GOT
THE VACCINE DEVELOPED
BLOOD CLOTS.
THAT'S NOW PROMPTED
THE IDAHO DEPARTMENT
OF HEALTH AND WELFARE
TO ALSO NOW
RECOMMEND -- IDAHO
PROVIDERS NOT USE THE
JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
VACCINE UNTIL MORE
INFORMATION BECOMES
AVAILABLE.
OUR SHIRAH MATSUZAWA
LOOKED INTO THE IMPACT
THIS TEMPORARY PAUSE IS
HAVING -- AND WHAT IT
MEANS FOR SOME
CLINICS.
SHIRAH.
CLINICS. SHIRAH. THIS NEWS COMES... JUST
ONE DAY AFTER OUR JOEY
PRECHTYL REPORTED THAT
IDAHO IS ACTUALLY
FACING A SHORTAGE
WHEN IT COMES TO THE
JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
COVID-19 VACCINE.
BUT DESPITE THAT
SHORTAGE...SOME CLINICS
WERE DEFINITELY
IMPACTED BY THIS
TEMPORARY PAUSE.. AND
HAVE DISCONTINUED
USING IT FOR THE TIME
BEING.
WE HAD 120 PEOPLE
SCHEDULED TODAY TO
GET THE JOHNSON AND
JOHNSON VACCINE. BUT
FORTUNATELY, WE HAD
EXTRA STOCK OF THE
MODERNA AND PFIZER
VACCINES SO WE HAD TO
GET THOSE VACCINES
OVER TO OUR 2 CLINICS
THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO
BE GIVING THE JOHNSON
AND JOHNSON VACCINES
TODAY
THAT'S HOW CHIEF
MEDICAL OFFICER DR.
PENNY BEACH AT THE
FAMILY MEDICINE
RESIDENCY OF IDAHO
STARTED HER MORNING...
AFTER LEARNING ABOUT
THE JOHNSON AND
JOHNSON VACCINE AND
REPORTS... THAT SIX
WOMEN DEVELOPED
BLOOD CLOTS AFTER
GETTING THE VACCINE.
10:55:30 YOU HAVE TO
REALIZE THIS IS 6 PEOPLE
OUT OF 6.8 MILLION
PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD
THE IMMUNIZATIONS
10:58:55 I THINK PEOPLE
HAVE TO REALIZE IT
SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A
REAL COMPLICATION, BUT
THIS VERY RARE. 10:59:05
FAMILY MEDICINE
RESIDENCY HAS GIVEN
OUT 220 DOSES OF THE
JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
VACCINE AMONG THE
HOMELESS POPULATION
USING ITS MOBILE CLINIC.
10:58:00 BECAUSE IT'S
ONLY ONE SHOT AND AS
YOU CAN IMAGINE TRYING
TO FIND SOME OF THESE
FOLKS TO COME BACK
AND GET A SECOND SHOT
AFTER 3 OR 4 WEEKS CAN
BE VERY DIFFICULT
10:58:12
DR. BEACH SAYS.. THEY
HAVE HAD NO SERIOUS
SIDE EFFECTS THAT THEY
KNOW OF.
SOMETHING ECHOED BY
IDAHO'S LARGEST HEALTH
SYSTEMS-- ST. LUKE'S AND
SAINT ALPHONSUS.
BOTH PAUSED THEIR USE
OF THE VACCINE ON
TUESDAY.
ST. LUKES HAS GIVEN OUT
ABOUT 800 DOSES.
11:21:08 WE HAVE VERY
LITTLE JOHNSON AND
JOHNSON, AND HAD
ONLY BEEN PLANNING AT
GIVING IT OUT AT ONE
SITE.
11:21:27 AND SO THIS
REALLY DOES NOT AFFECT
US TOO MUCH 11:21:30
WHILE SAINT ALPHONSUS
HAS GIVEN OUT 550
DOSES SINCE THEY'VE
STARTED ITS MOBILE
CLINICS..
11;06:29 WE ARE GOING
TO CONTINUE OUR
MOBILE VACCINATION
CLINICS AND WE'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO
TARGET THOSE
POPULATIONS BECAUSE IT
UNDERLINES WITH OUR
MISSION TO SERVE THE
POOR AND THE
UNDERSERVED AND WE'LL
BE USING EITHER PFIZER
OR MODERNA DEPENDING
ON WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN
OUR INVENTORY AT THE
TIME 11:06:40
ALL OF THE HEALTH
EXPERTS SAY IF YOU'VE
HAD THE VACCINE AND
ARE NOW CONCERNED.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOTE...
11:09:38 THESE ARE NOT
IMMEDIATE REACTIONS,
WHENEVER WE GET A
VACCINATION, OUR
BODIES RESPOND TO THAT
VACCINATION AND IT IS
NOT UNUSUAL TO HAVE
NON SPECIFIC HEADACHE,
MUSCLE ACHES, AND EVEN
A LOW GRADE FEVER IN
THE FEW DAYS
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
VACCINATION
11:10:07 HOWEVER IT IS
UNUSUAL FOR THOSE
SYMPTOMS TO PERSIST
AND OR JUST START A
WEEK AFTER THE
VACCINATION 11:10:20
SYMPTOMS LIKE:
10:59:55 A HEADACHE OR
NUMBNESS OR WEAKNESS
IN PART OF THEIR BODY
THAT'S NEW OR SUDDEN
CHANGE IN THEIR VISION
OR SLURRED SPEECH.
THOSE COULD ALL BE
SIGNS OF THIS REALLY
RARE SIDE EFFECT THATS
HAPPENED WITH THE
JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
VACCINE. 11:00:09
VACCINE. 11:00:09
SIGNS
SIGNS OF
SIGNS OF THIS REALLY RARE SIDE EFFECT THATS HAPPENED WITH THE
JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
VACCINE. 11:00:09
VACCINE. 11:00:09
IF
IF YOU'RE
IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING ANY OF THOSE SYMPTOMS... AND IT'S
BEEN A WEEK OR TWO
SINCE YOU GOT THE
VACCINE... CALL A
DOCTOR.
MEANTIME... IF YOU HAVE
AN APPOINTMENT
ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR
THE JOHNSON AND
JOHNSON VACCINE, THE
HEALTH EXPERTS SAY GO
AHEAD WITH YOUR
APPOINTMENT -- THEY'LL
OFFER ONE OF THE TWO
OTHER VACCINES INSTEAD.
A FEDERAL EMERGENCY
MEETING WILL BE HELD
