(CNN)Vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted Friday to recommend resuming use of the vaccine. An updated warning will be added to the label. The CDC and US Food and Drug Administration recommended pausing the use of the vaccine on April 13 while they investigated the risk of rare, severe blood clots. On Friday, members of the CDC's Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices agreed the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks from rare blood clots linked with the vaccine.

The US Food and Drug Administration will update the label for the vaccine, indicating that women under the age of 50 should be aware of the risk of a rare blood clotting syndrome associated with the vaccine.

For every million doses of vaccine given to women 18 to 49, 13 TTS cases can be expected, Oliver said. But 12 deaths from Covid-19 would be prevented and 127 ICU admissions would be prevented among those women if they had access to the Janssen vaccine. The CDC did not consider a gender-based restriction, Oliver said, because it would be too hard to explain -- even though the risk of blood clots appears to be very low among men.

民主国家政策灵活
叔在等这个，搂西一眼
跟叔说的意思差不多，妇女大姨妈来了不要打，其他继续
所以，对男性，基本上相当于零风险
JJ疫苗确实副作用低，而且省事，一针下去，你就知道OK了。不像其他，你还得耐心等第二针
这疫苗是给有心理障碍的人群使用的，主要卖点是打一针，咬咬牙就过去了。
其实保护率只有65%，还没有辉瑞打一针80%的保护率。
现在去麻省总医院，有3种疫苗，随你挑，但是护士还是建议打辉瑞。
