Slovenia has temporarily suspended the use of Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine after a 20-year-old woman who had recently received the single-dose shot died, officials announced on Sept. 29.

“According to the notification of a serious adverse event after vaccination Janssen [J&J], members of the advisory group suggest that vaccination with this vaccine be suspended until the situation is clarified,” Health Minister Janez Poklukar said in an official government statement.
