US regulators have added a new warning to Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine about links to a rare and potentially dangerous neurological reaction, but said it is not entirely clear the jab causes the problem. Health officials described the side effect as a “small possible risk”. As of July 12, more than 184.3 million people have received at least one dose of a #COVID19 vaccine. J&J said it has been discussing the reports with the FDA and other health regulators around the world. The CDC and the FDA have been monitoring side effect reports submitted by physicians, drugmakers and patients to a federal vaccine safety database.
