Anybody get the J&J vaccine?

Icegoddess — Mon, 17 May 2021 16:07:33 GMT

Just curious what the general post-vaccine experience was. Is it the same as the other vaccines like a sore arm and mild symptoms for a few hours. I know all about the blood clot issue, but that is not a general side effect.

I got this vaccine about six weeks ago and felt a bit under the weather, like a mild flu for a couple of days but I was glad to get the "one and done" shot and get it over with and not have to potentially go through any effects twice.

my city went door to door for all home-bound people and gave them all the J&J vaccine as it was only 1 dose. if all the people no one had any adverse recations other than a sor arm. i was so proud to be the driver for the nurses and doctors who volunteered ti go house to house with no payment required.

I have a friend who had a problem with blood clotting as a young woman. She told me her daughter and her 16 and 18 year old granddaughters would not take J&J.

Contrary to what you read J&J has the least side effects of all the vaccines. My husband, son and I all got it and had zero side effects and we all had Covid before as well.

There seems to be a push for the mRNA vaccines instead of J&J.I know this isn't popular to post but there are some serious concerns with mRNA technology in past vaccine tests. It's why it has never been used on humans before. I sought out the J&J because it doesn't have that technoloogy and it was tested when virus variants were more prevalent. It is, however, hard to find because of how the other ones are pushed.

My daughter got the J&J vaccine the day before it was put on “pause”. She had no side effects other than a bit of a sore arm at the injection site.

My trucker daughter got the J&J vaccine early last month, and her side effects were a headache and sore arm by that night, and mild flu like symptoms for the next 2 days.

Thank you so much for helping out, @duffy2! That was so good of you to do!

Thanks everybody. I just hadn't heard much about the J&J shot except the pause. All vaccines have risks so I don't consider the blood clot one to be a big issue due to the low percentage rate, and I do have a genetic blood clotting issue.

The J&J is the only one I'm currently willing to do and even that is a compromise. I don't really want to get one at all, so if I'm going to get one, it will have to be the one I prefer. There will be no boosters for me though. It will truly be a one and done. I don't do the flu shot and I will not be getting an annual covid shot either.

I currently have an appt. on Thursday assuming they don't cancel it. I did have to specifically ask about the J&J shot to find out they had it at my Publix.

@Icegoddess I had the J&J vaccine just before it was "paused". Had no side effects at all, my arm wasn't even sore. I know quite a few people who have had the J&J with zero effects.

My stepson and his wife had the J&J two days before it was paused. They had no side effects that I'm aware of.

A close friend also had it, the day before it was paused and experienced only very slight fatigue.

I got the J&J vaccine and had absolutely no side effects, nor did my grandson and his family, other than the one Aunt who is always complaining about her aches and pains and said her arm hurt for days and days. I am in my early 80's and was glad to get the vaccine.

I received the J&J vaccine in April and experienced 0 side effects. I didn't even have a sore arm.

Two weeks later, my son received the J&J vaccine. The only side effect he had was a tiny bit of soreness at the injection site. The soreness lasted less than 24 hours.

@Icegodde Why are you going to get this Shot? You sound like you are doing this because you think you have too? Believe you don't..Please reconsider and wait and see for a little bit more. You said something about a Genetic Blood Clotting Issue. I would seriously think about not taking it right now. You do know this is a TRIAL,they weren't fully tested..you are the test.The trials are to be finished in Jan 2023.They then will determine THE SAFETY & EFFICASY OF THEM..Think about it
