(KYMA, KECY/CNN) - The Food and Drug administration (FDA) made an announcement regarding limits on the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

The FDA says it's limiting their authorization of the vaccine to adults who don't have access to other vaccines.

This is is due to the risk of a rare blood clotting condition related to the J&J vaccine, who say about 15% of the blood cases have been fatal.
