Paul Stoffels, Chief Scientific Officer at J&J said the company plans to ship the vaccine at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, which is about 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
“We have three months stability as of this moment at 2 to 8,” he said. “That will be expanded over the year as we generate more stability data. We know from our other vaccines it can go up to a year, but at the start we can’t do that because we don’t have it for this vaccine.”
In contrast, the COVID vaccine developed by Pfizer has to be stored at -94 degrees and needs specialized refrigeration to be stored and shipped. Being able to ship the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in regular refrigeration units will cut costs dramatically and make the vaccine more widely available.
Give it to some leftwads and see how many of them die.
Complete with gurney, a last meal and last rites. I’ll pass, thanks.
So they’re admitting there are side effects to the vaccines. Enough so as to make them a discrminater in selection. Or instead of being a guinea pig and long term test subject, I could simply take my chances with an illness that for someone in my condition is no more dangerous than seasonal flu. Perhaps even less so. Gee, makes my choice pretty clear. I told my supervisor today that if taking a vaccine becomes mandatory at work, I will be leaving. I told him in writing. Signed. I mean it.
So many of my coworkers jumped at the chance of getting the vaccine. Now, after getting the second dose, they are all out sick. I’m restraining myself from saying I told you so
Hope it doesn’t go the way of J & J Levaquin. Few side effects . . . NOT!
i’m not taking any
but comparing all of them, for what’s been reported about them, johnson and johnson’s seems to be the least dangerous, and at this point is just a single shot dose
Reminds me of Gulf War Syndrome.
In the months and years following the war, thousands of service people who had been at the peak of fitness were affected in some way. Wasn’t that attributed to the cocktail of stuff they were injected with?
Single dose, and stable at room temperature will make it more available to the third world. Those people don’t have the luxury of conspiracy theories.
No word on when it will be available!!
So is the best recommendation to wait for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine>? I have an opportunity to get the Prizer vaccine and am weighing my choices.
