u.s. have received it 15 cases of blood clotting have been identified 3 of which were fatal more with rob reynolds in los angeles for us i'm looking at a news release here rob saying that the the f.d.a. and the c.d.c. of both recommending that this pause be lifted is that the final word then it can it can go back into use. yes in a press briefing the head of the centers for disease control a dr rachel lenski explained that she and other top u.s. public health officials had given the go ahead for the johnson and johnson vaccine to be resumed in administering to patients and that it would be resumed almost immediately likely the 1st doses of this single shot vaccine will be rolled out and given to people in the u.s.

a kind of ultra low 'd temperature refrigeration while it's being transported from one place to another so as dr will lead ski said that would really help in terms of transportation to far flung communities isolated groups of people and so forth across this country where thousands of people are still reporting coded infections new covert infections every day. as of now $19000000.00 americans or people living in america have received their 1st or their their full doses their complete vaccine immunization that's about 27 percent of the total population so there's still a considerable way to go ok thank you for all that information rob reynolds in los angeles we're on to other news indonesia where rescue teams are continuing their battle against time to find a submarine that is missing with 53 crew on board and south supplies calculated to
