More than a month after receiving the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine herself, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds said she'd "do it again" and urged Iowans to maintain confidence in the vaccination process."Vaccination is the best defense against the virus and as you've heard the reward far outweighs the risk," said Reynolds at a news conference in Des Moines.Reynolds called the decision to issue a pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine "sudden and surprising" and said with no advanced notice, Iowa was left to develop contingency plans "in the moment" for vaccination clinics already scheduled.The Governor asked Iowa residents for patience as some clinics are rescheduled. Reynolds said the state was already anticipating fewer doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, so she felt the disruption would be "manageable."The Governor also urged Iowans who have not been vaccination to schedule their shots."Putting even one vaccine on hold is disappointing, especially as we're fast approaching, 2 million doses being given administered in Iowa, but ensuring a safe vaccination process one that everyone can be competent in will continue to be a top priority," said Reynolds.Six issues of blood clotting have been noted in the United States among the 7 million doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccines administered.The Governor received a J&J vaccine dose on March 3rd, and said she experienced mild side effects the next day including a slight headache and fatigue but she was back "to feeling 100%" within 24 hours."I'm glad that I did have the opportunity to have the J&J vaccine I would do it again," said Reynolds. "Vaccination is the best defense against the virus and as you've heard the reward far outweighs the risk."
