Vo: med plus medical director kip george said he's waiting to let the cdc and others figure out whats going on with the johnson and johnson vaccine.

He said if it's a statistical anomoly and they get the greenlight they will give it out.

If not they will throw their doses away.

He said either way this makes people more scared to take any coronavirus vaccine.

I'm afraid it's going to slow the progression of getting people vaccinated.
