The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated that there is no direct relation between Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine and blood clotting, Sky News reported on Saturday.

The administration stated: "At this time, we have not found a causal relationship with vaccination and we are continuing our investigation and assessment of these cases."

However, it is continuing its observation for some cases who suffered from serious complications after receiving the J&J jab.

In the same context, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is reviewing any links between the vaccine and blood clotting after reporting four cases and one death with low blood platelets.

On Thursday, Wake Country, NC, US, suspended using Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after finding serious side effects in the vaccine’s recipients.

Moreover, the medical authorities in the country are in contact with the Department of Health and Human Services before resuming the campaign.

In Commerce City, Colorado, a major vaccination center has been closed after a number of recipients negatively reviewed the J& J vaccine on Wednesday.

Two persons have been transported to the hospital after receiving the vaccine as they felt unwell, and needed more medical care.

The total number of people who received the J&J vaccine is 1700 persons until now, only 0.8% expressed negative feedback to the vaccine.
