Pan, the California epidemiologist, issued a statement Sunday recommending a pause in the distribution of a specific lot of Moderna vaccine after "fewer than 10 individuals required medical attention over the span of 24 hours.".

The report said more than 330,000 doses from the lot already have been distributed throughout the state to 287 providers.

Fox 5 San Diego reported that the California Department of Public Health said fewer than 10 people appeared to be experiencing "a possible severe allergic reaction during the standard observation period" following the vaccinations at Petco Park.

The statement said that Moderna, the CDC and the FDA are all looking into the batch and said no vaccine or medical procedure is without risk.
