Mike DeWine has paused the use of of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after rare blood clots were reported in six people who received the one-shot vacinne.

Mike DeWine’s decision to cancel the previous mask mandate, and reissue it Friday as part of a consolidated health order; and more stories.
