April 26, 2021 This message includes updates on the COVID-19 response from CDC. The COVID-19 Outbreak is a rapidly evolving situation and information will be updated as it becomes available.

What to Do If You Received the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine After a temporary pause, CDC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend use of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen (J&J/Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine resume in the United States. A review of all available data at this time shows that the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine’s known and potential benefits outweigh its known and potential risks. However, women under 50 years old should be aware of the rare but increased risk of the adverse event called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), and that there are other COVID-19 vaccine options available for which this risk has not been seen. CDC and FDA will continue to monitor the safety of all COVID-19 vaccines.

Safer Ways to Celebrate Spring Events and Holidays Attending gatherings to celebrate events and holidays increases your risk of getting and spreading COVID-19. The safest way to celebrate this year is virtually, with people who live with you, or outside and at least 6 feet apart from others. Safer ways to celebrate include the following. Decorate your home with holiday themed items and banners. Host a video chat party with family and friends to share in the celebration. Plan a special meal inspired by the holiday or event. Have an outdoor celebration with everyone at least 6 feet apart and wearing masks. Watch virtual events and celebrations. If you plan to celebrate with others, outdoors is safer than indoors. Travel may increase your chance of spreading and getting COVID-19. If you travel, you should still take steps to protect yourself and others.
