Bay Area health officials will resume administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agreed on Friday that its benefits outweigh the risk of rare blood clots linked to the vaccine.

Health officers from Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Solano counties and the City of Berkeley issued a joint statement on Sunday saying they planned to resume inoculating patients with the vaccine. The move came just two days after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted to recommend resuming use of the vaccine for individuals 18 years and older.
