A mass vaccination site at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Colorado was shut down after several adverse reactions to the Johnson & Johnson CCP virus vaccine, said Centura Health, which is managing the site.

More than 600 people who had appointments were turned away from the “Vaccines for All” event in Commerce City after 11 people who were administered the shot developed adverse reactions during the on-side observation period, said Kevin Massey, a spokesperson for Centura Health, told local news outlets.

“Following the administration of the J&J vaccine and during onsite observation, we saw a limited number of adverse reactions to the vaccine,” Centura Health said in a separate statement.
The Colorado Department of Public Health said some patients experienced nausea and dizziness after getting the J&J vaccine, while Centura confirmed that nine individuals were monitored on-site and were sent home and two individuals were taken to nearby hospitals out of an abundance of caution.

“Over 1,700 patients received their shots today, and the 640 patients who were unable to receive their vaccine this afternoon will automatically be rescheduled for Sunday, April 11, at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Our goal is to continue to vaccinate Coloradans as quickly as possible while keeping our patients’ safety at the forefront,” said Centura.

Massey told the Denver Post that the number of people who experienced adverse reactions was about 0.8 percent.

“We followed our protocols and, in an abundance of caution, made the decision—in partnership with the state—to pause operations for the remainder of the day,” Massey said.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a one-dose vaccine for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19. That’s opposed to the two-shot Moderna and Pfizer vaccines that are also approved for emergency use in the United States.

Before Wednesday’s event, the state health department recorded 10 reactions at Colorado’s community mass-vaccination sites, according to the paper.

Reactions to COVID-19 vaccines have been reported in recent weeks, including a Virginia man who suffered a reported skin reaction after what doctors said was from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Colorado Health officials, following the closure of the site, stressed that getting the vaccine is “far safer than getting severely sick with COVID-19.”

European Union health officials on Wednesday made a similar statement after researchers found a “possible link” between the AstraZeneca CCP virus vaccine and rare blood clots.

The Epoch Times has contacted Centura for additional comment.
 
Yet another reason to not take it.

I gotta wonder about these “pop up” vaccination stations. Who are the volunteers and what training do they get? The J&J vaccine is supposedly not as temperature sensitive as the fuzzy Pfizer or funky Medina ones but just how controlled is the actual handling from freezer to arm?

Stated upstream, I hate needles and dont get shots. Im curious, how often do folks have adverse reactions to the flu shot ,typically?
@NCFubar brings up a good point about those who are administering the shots, too. And the fact that we're usually getting (and I say 'we' as in the royal we) shots in a doctor's office, not in our cars, which arent always the cleanest places etc.

Again, not saying/suggesting anyone should get one or not get one, just trying to figure out how much of this is 'normal'

it's rare enough to say that basically people don't get them
then again, it's also rare enough to say that people don't get them from the covid vaccine, despite the news
 
My oldest daughter has been laid up in bed with fever and chills most of the day after getting it at WCU this morning. She's pretty miserable. But she's and adult and she wanted to get it. Half of one of her classes were out because they were all running fevers.

Bosses wife was sick for 3 days.

J&J ?
 
All "volunteers" actually handling and administering the vaccines are clinically trained. For instance, here in Greenville (NC) our big vaccine clinic was at the convention center. I work at medical practices all over the region. Staff was pulled from all of them to work the clinic. They actually didn't "volunteer" at all. They were told they had to go.

But having been in the medical biz for a while now I can tell you this. It's a lawyer's world. You don't do ANYTHING that doesn't get by the lawyers. And there is simply NO WAY that ANY medical facility would allow a person who is not clinically trained to handle the vaccine.

The actual volunteers from the community are doing things like logging people in, helping to fill out paperwork, directing traffic, etc. But at no point is a non-clinical employee or volunteer handling the vaccine.

I can't speak intelligently as to the reaction rate of the J&J vaccine. But, trust me, the retired granny or the bored stay-at-home mom are not handling any vaccines.
