		</div><p>A late-stage study of Johnson &; Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine candidate has been paused while the company investigates whether a study participant’s “unexplained illness” is related to the shot.</p>
<p>The company said in a statement on Monday that illnesses, accidents and other so-called adverse events “are an expected part of any clinical study, especially large studies”, but that its physicians and a safety monitoring panel would try to determine what might have caused the illness.</p>
<p>The pause is at least the second such hold to occur among several vaccines that have reached large-scale final tests in the US.<br />
The company declined to reveal any more details about the illness, citing the participant’s privacy.</p>

<p>Temporary stoppages of large medical studies are relatively common. Few are made public in typical drug trials, but the work to make a coronavirus vaccine has raised the stakes on these kinds of complications.<br />
Companies are required to investigate any serious or unexpected reaction that occurs during drug testing.<br />
Given such tests are done on tens of thousands of people, some medical problems are a coincidence. One of the first steps the company said it would take would be to determine if the person received the vaccine or a placebo.</p>
<p>The halt was first reported by the health news site STAT.<br />
Final-stage testing of a vaccine made by AstraZeneca and Oxford University remains on hold in the US as officials examine whether an illness in its trial poses a safety risk.</p>

<p>That trial was stopped when a woman developed severe neurological symptoms consistent with transverse myelitis, a rare inflammation of the spinal cord, the company has said. That company’s testing has restarted elsewhere.</p>
