Summary

Today we're breaking down the latest information about Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine.

Earlier this week, the U.S. put the use of this particular vaccine on hold because of new questions about a potential rare, but serious, side effect: blood clots in the brain.

So what does the data show right now? How worried should we really be about this? What does it mean for the other types of COVID-19 vaccines available? 

We're getting those answers and more from the Executive Director of the International Vaccine Access Center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Dr. William Moss.
