Ellen Whitney was hospitalized for 5 days with multiple blood clots in her lungs.

62-year-old Ellen Whitney is one of a very small number of people to have blood clots after receiving Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine. She shares her story so other people can know what to look out for. Whitney, who was completely healthy before the clots, is pro-vaccine and calls the incident "a freak occurrence."
