“What is your opinion on the J&J vaccine?”
When I look for medical information one of the sources I use is WEBMD.
“The J&J vaccine was 66% effective at preventing moderate to severe COVID-19, and 85% protective against the most serious symptoms, according to early results of the clinical trial that included 44,000 people in the United States, Latin America and South Africa, the AP reported. And starting 28 days after receiving the vaccine, no one who got it required hospitalization or died.”
Now this is a single shot vaccine and is up for approval in late February. But it will still have to be watched as 44M is a relatively small piece of 7.64B in the world. And none of the articles I read about it identified any side effects. Doesn’t mean they aren’t there, just not reported. And I can’t find anything on re-infection down the road or booster needs. Have to wait and see.

For anyone interested in the J & J vaccine here is a very readable and informative article. The vaccine’s record, thus far, is very impressive especially for serious disease, death and no allergic reactions in the trials.
” Eighty-five percent protection against severe disease and 100 percent protection against hospitalizations and death.”
