#FDA flags small risk of neurological disorder after Johnson and Johnson vaccine

Federal health officials flagged "a small possible risk" of developing a nervous system disorder after receiving Johnson and Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, after the CDC identified a very rare pattern of Guillain-Barré syndrome in some recipients of the shot. As Nikki Battiste reports, there have been about 100 cases, mostly in older men.
