She also called her condition “extraordinarily rare.” The blood clot patient expressed her confidence that doctors will have answers soon in addition to a “definitive list” of people “for whom the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is safe.”

According to reports, the woman urged people who have access to other vaccines to get them and to be confident in their effectiveness and safety.

Meanwhile, the CDC and FDA recommended the U.S. pause its use of the vaccine after several women developed blood clots.
