South Dakota resumes use of Johnson & Johnson vaccine
The South Dakota Department of Health announced that health systems and federal retail pharmacies across the state have resumed the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as of Monday, April 26.
The decision was made following the announcement Friday by the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that they have satisfactorily studied and approved the use of the vaccine for those 18 and older, lifting the pause implemented April 13.
“The pause and restart of this vaccine should be one more example of our commitment in ensuring vaccine safety and prove that transparent and rigorous established safety standards work,” Secretary of Health Kim Malsam-Rysdon said. “We know all available vaccines have been proven effective against hospitalization and death from COVID-19, further highlighting the importance of getting your shot scheduled today.”
Use of the vaccine was suspended after six reports of U.S. cases among women of rare and severe type of blood clots after receiving the vaccine. To date, 16,295 South Dakotans have received the one-dose series vaccine, and 6.8 million J&J shots have been administered nationwide. No serious adverse reactions to the vaccine have been reported in South Dakota.
While the side effects of concern are extremely rare, the FDA and CDC recommend immediate contact with a health care provide for those who develop a severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain, or shortness of breath within three weeks of receiving to J&J vaccine.

First case of Brazil variant detected in S.D.
A third COVID-19 variant that has gained global attention has been detected in South Dakota.
The P.1, or Brazil, variant was identified in a Pennington County resident, the Department of Health announced Wednesday.
“We are closely monitoring this development and would like to use this opportunity to encourage state residents to get vaccinated as it’s the best way to be protected — and has proven nearly 100 percent effective against hospitalization and death,” Daniel Bucheli, communications director for the state Health Department, said in a news release. “With more access points than ever, it’s critical to protect yourself, your family and our communities.”
Concerns are that the P.1 variant may impact the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and negatively impact the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy, which is used in treating COVID patients in hospitals, the department said. South Dakota joins Minnesota, which has identified five cases, and Nebraska with two cases.
South Dakota has detected 64 cases of the so-called U.K. variant and 10 cases of the South African variant. Two other variants have one case each.
