State Officials Tell Counties to ‘Pause’ Administration of Vaccine Lot
Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:
The California State Epidemiologist recommended to local health offices last night that they pause administration of a single lot of COVID-19 vaccines, after a disproportionate number of severe adverse reactions was reported at a vaccination clinic in San Diego.
The lot, Moderna 041L20A, consists of 330,000 doses, a week’s worth of vaccines for the state, and as much as 90% of the doses the Humboldt County Public Health has on hand for vaccinations at its clinics this week.
Humboldt County Public Health officials have administered “hundreds” of doses from the lot, Health Officer Dr. Ian Hoffman said, with no severe or unusual reactions noted.
The lot number is written on the COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card given to individuals at the time of their vaccination. Any adverse reaction would occur immediately, usually within the first few minutes and certainly within 24 hours.
No vaccine from that lot has been administered by Public Health or its partners within the past 24 hours, and none from the lot will be administered until or unless the state determines the lot is safe to use.
Humboldt County Public Health has 3,500 doses from Moderna 041L20A in its freezer, 1,600 designated for first doses and 1,900 intended for second doses. Local providers have additional doses, but with “no replacement options at this time,” Dr. Hoffman said.
Public Health clinics scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week may be impacted by the pause. People with appointments or invitations to be vaccinated will be contacted if appointments need to be canceled or rescheduled.
Dr. Hoffman also said it was possible the state might conclude the vaccine is safe and release the rest of the lot. “Obviously the goal for all of us is keeping people safe,” Dr. Hoffman said. “We’re going to pause as recommended until we hear more from the state, but without replacement doses, we’re balancing one set of risks against another.”
Investigation into the lot is led by the manufacturer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration.

“.. as much as 90% of the doses th(at) Humboldt County Public Health has on hand for vaccinations at its clinics this week…. AND …
Humboldt County Public Health officials have administered “hundreds” of doses from the lot…”
What a $*** $how! Like the next batch will be better .
Anyone that signs on for this rush “jab” is being manipulated and f****** lied to.
It’s scientific slurry they cooked up in a hurry on a two-burner stove out back. What a joke.
Good things take time. And We’d barely learned covid19 even existed 12 month ago, but miraculously there is a *safe vaccine* available now? That’s not logical.
Do your own research.
While research has indicated there is some proven effectiveness in animals mRNA vaccines are not *proven* to be safe, or even that effective in humans, because there has been no long-term use, and observation in humans! This is it. We are watching it real time. Like a train wreck.
And safety issues aside, PLEASE research the effectiveness. I have. It’s laughable.
It purports to offer minimal short term “immunity” (90-95% so already 5-10% are SOL) Some indications of waning “immunity” within months! So then what? Are you going to get this covid19 vax every year? Every 6months?
And what of the variant strains? Will you rush out and take a separate vaccine for those?
And remember this. Reactions and ill-outcomes are typically downplayed by doctors, the patient is made out to be crazy, or symptoms are chalked up to “coincidence.”
So OF COURSE there are few “reported” reactions.
Those a**h**** don’t care about you! Or your health.
IMO
Risking your life, and long-term health attempting to vax against a viral infection (that for the majority lasts 3weeks) is a serious GAMBLE.
Use your brain people.
And fortify.
I’m following a proven Korean vitamin regimen that’s kept me healthy through this.
From the press release:
Fewer than 10 individuals required medical attention over the span of 24 hours. Out of an extreme abundance of caution and also recognizing the extremely limited supply of vaccine, we are recommending that providers use other available vaccine inventory and pause the administration of vaccines from Moderna Lot 041L20A until the investigation by the CDC, FDA, Moderna and the state is complete. We will provide an update as we learn more.”
Less than 10.
And the industry is being transparent and forthcoming.
And that is much more than the anti-vax crowd that will fill the thread with ‘lining up’ for certain death as a Munster family member, because vaccines are ‘killing people around the world’……and take your vitamins.
10 people in the icu due to COVID-19 is not ok, but 10 people in the icu from the vaccine is just fine. You must be the local pharm rep.
Neither is true, though.
I don’t know why you talk to me or DQ, LR.
You are here to comment for comedy, not to learn anything…and those are your words.
So then you reply some dumbass statement to some intelligent comment. Like above. And it’s neither funny or intelligent.
Which basically makes you a liar.
10 people IN THE WHOLE STATE had adverse reactions to this lot batch, none in the County.
10 in the WHOLE STATE.
And they are not in the ICU.
Now, I bet on your own little training wheels I just provided you, you’ll be ablev th o figure out why the 2nd half of your dumb and not funny response was off.
So not one person was hospitalized from an adverse affect from the vaccine? You are a true politician. Are you sure you’re not a pharm rep.? Just a quick search brings up multiple cases of people hospitalized for allergic reactions to COVID-19 vaccine. So that means i am telling the truth and you are lying as usual.
You’re telling me that of those 10 in the whole State with adverse reactions to the vaccine lot batch, you have evidence one is in the “ICU”?
Give it up or shut it up.
Where did my comment say 10 in this state. So only icu cases in California count? So lives in the other 49 states have no value. You sure your not a big pharm rep.?
Is this supposed to be your comedy act or what?
Are you following the story?
Best answer a scholar like yourself can come up with? Caught you assuming again, sucks when you call me a liar and I prove you wrong. The ole deflect and attack, must think i was born yesterday.
Until then, how many people did Trump beat in his first and 2nd run for Presidency?
Would you like me to compile the list?
From Mitt to Andrew Yang to Jo Jorgenson to Hillary Clinton and everyone who never made it to his position but tried in the last 2 elections?
Trump secured more voters (75 mil-ish) than any sitting President and it would have been a record flat out if Joe didn’t pull another 10 million voters on top of that.
And you’re like, “There’s a million Joe’s”.
Except there aren’t.
Talk to me again when your serious [edit]
One thread fits all, scatter brian.
Chances are that at least one of those individuals was someone’s grandma. Don’t you care about grandmas?
I’ll buy them all tylenol.
And you can have the bottle cap for a souvenir.
Drugs make everything better ,huh Brian?
🕯🌳Yep operation warp speed yep another Trump #### up. 🖖🖖
All Biden after tomorrow, he’s going to have this situation turned around in a jiffy. I’d say if COVID-19 has a good chance of killing you , then the vaccine might too.
I know 2 people whove had severe reactions this past week.One nearly passed out at work and has been off having to use sick leave of course. This is bullshit.
If vaccines are safe then how come every single person who got the first smallpox vaccination in 1798 is now dead?
🕯🌳The first shot like warp speed weren’t researched properly then after years of proper research they came up with a better version of the vaccine. 🖖🖖
Hey willie , if it took them 3 to 5 years to make a vaccine you’d be complaining trump didn’t get it done fast enough.
[edit]
Re, “every single person who got the first smallpox vaccination in 1798 is now dead” …
That’s funny.
Can’t argue with that logic.
Yeah! And everybody who gets this vaccine is going to die too…100%
Wow !! If that’s true we as a society are screwed. A majority of our health care providers, nurses and doctors have already been vaccinated.
Everything dies eventually skitty.
HaHa. My bad, as they say. I think I missed the sarcasm/joke in Farces’ statement. Swoosh…. right over my head.
Actually the first vaccine a was not a shot. Do your actual homework.
Covid is declining. Week average is looking great. Deaths declining Guess that thing called a immune system is working. I know I’ve been get daily exposures. I should be good for a couple years. Hmm maybe international travel time yup goodbye. The demz China gate plan was executed flawlessly. Get woke people.
COVID is declining? I am really hoping this is a joke.
Sure…the seven day average is less than last week BUT it is more than at any other week than last week.
Here’s the graph with my red line showing (badly) how much higher the death rate in the US is now than at any other time.
Whats the red line represent? How many have died from the flu?
No, the red line shows how many deaths per day we’re averaging now. You can see how far the red line is above the deaths per day for the previous months. (And yes I can’t draw a straight line but you get the idea.)
Deaths also are going down.
We’re three weeks past Christmas. Hopefully all those family gatherings have had their worst effect. But the number of cases we have now is vastly higher than at any time in the last year.
Kym, the past 8 days the numbers have been dropping steadily by 1/7-1/6. That’s average, last two days look even better. I hope it keeps this NEW trajectory.
I hope it keeps the new trajectory too. I even think it is likely but for heaven’s sake our average daily COVID deaths are way over 3000 in the US. That’s still much higher than it has been for the vast majority of this disease. At the peak in April, it was about 2200. Today it is about 3300 per day dying. That’s over a 9/11 attacks worth of deaths every single day.
I know kym I know it sounds like some of us dont care. We of course do. Im just hoping that since we have had 25 mill cases that we are starting to get some herd immunity considering we have way more that have been positive and non symptomatic. If we don’t then we are in big trouble. 5 percent of them have super anti bodies. This virus is simply natural evolution. We are dying of starvation at a much faster rate. Population increases at 230 k a day globally.
The rate of Covid deaths is more than 100x the number of malnutrition deaths in the US.

This is a typical time for any flu,virus , cold to peak. Flu season is dec thru feb. Funny how the media never covered the 500 people that died every day during flu season for the last 20 years, and how hospitals would near capacity.
The 2017-2018 flu strain killed roughly 500 people a day at its peak, and it was almost continuously in the news. Normally, the death toll for flu seasons is much less severe.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%80%932018_United_States_flu_season
Even if 500 per day were normal, a sevenfold increase is definately news worthy.
If the media never covered the flu season, how did you know about it? The media puts out stories frequently on the flu season. Here’s just a few articles on the flu on the first page of Google. There’s a ton more out there: https://time.com/5610878/2018-2019-flu-season/\
https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/13/health/flu-update-cdc-dec-13-2019/index.htmlIt usually lasts about 90 days and kills roughly 40,000 people—much less than COVID is killing. In a very bad flu year, about 600 people die per day in the US.
Right now well over 3000 people are dying per day of COVID plus also people are dying from the flu.(Please note this is estimated flu deaths as opposed to COVID deaths which are actual counted and documented deaths. Also note this shouldn’t be a bad flu year as the same things that reduce COVID will also reduce the flu.) So that’s roughly five times the amount of people dying of COVID during lockdown and other strict measures to reduce the spread as normally die of the flu on a very bad year.
I remember about 15 years ago the media focused on flu desths for about 3 days. Other than that ,I don’t recall every news channel ever covering flu deaths , let alone for months on end.
LR, I don’t know what to do if you won’t believe the evidence of your own eyes. The two links I provided are both in major news sources and both from last year. I’m not going to literally find hundreds of links and post them here. They are there. I’ve read news stories on the flu (multiple ones every year) along with the discussion of whether this was a light or heavy flu year and whether the flu vaccine was good at combating it or not that year.
mainstream like this?
https://www.kabc.com/news/cdc-us-flu-numbers-drop-by-a-whopping-98-percent/
Wow, what a poorly written article, no numbers, not even dated. I would expect no less from Newsmax.
The current number seems to be more like a 93% decline from last year, which was on the high end of average.

“Any adverse reaction would occur immediately, usually within the first few minutes and certainly within 24 hours.”
And if something adverse happens at 25 hours it is not related to the vaccine… I have my doubts on their “certainty”.
Do I have a few comments coming Kym?
Sorry, got behind. Up now.
Thanks. I was confused because one of mine had gotten the go ahead a bit earlier.
I understand. But for reasons having to do with the way the comments appear on the dashboard of my website, I start with reading the most recent ones first and work backward. In this case I got interrupted (several times) before finally making my way to the earliest.
