A coronavirus vaccine site in Georgia became the fourth US location this week to pause its administration of the Johnson & Johnson jab after concerns over possible adverse reactions, a report said.
Eight people experienced lightheadedness after getting the shot Wednesday at the Cumming Fairgrounds, though health officials believe that could have simply been caused by the hot weather, WSB-TV reported.
"It was a fainting issue," Dave Palmer, North Georgia Health District spokesperson, told the outlet.
"We don’t think it’s anything to do with the vaccine. It’s probably more environmental factors," Palmer said.
Adverse reactions were incurred by less than 2% of the 435 people who received the vaccine at the site, the report said.
"That facility is hard to cool, and we do have fans there, but it was a warmer day," Palmer told the station. "I think the heat may have had some bearing on it. We’re not sure."

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine was also halted in the past week at sites in Colorado, North Carolina and Iowa.
