Assuming the vaccines are safe, my concern is the handling of the vaccine along the way. The rush to vaccinate and the untold numbers of those involved with it makes mistakes not only possible or likely, but definite. That it happened in a controlled environment affecting millions of doses, no matter that it was caught, proves it.

We can't know the long term effect, if any, for months even years. In the short term, the benefit outweighs the risk for the population in general, but my concern is for the specific individual, myself personally.

And that is the vaccine that DH and I were holding out for...

I was one of the early ones...Got my first Moderna on Jan 6 and second on Feb 9. This news about the J&J mixup isn’t going to help the anti-vaxxers change their minds.

The last reported put J&J at 68%. I got Moderna and the two drs in my family said the Pfizer and Moderna are virtually the same efficacy.

It seems the rush to get the “ one and done” version of a vaccine has finally caught up with the . Hope they finally get it right.

I got my J&J vaccine yesterday. It hurt a lot but no pain after the 15 minute wait after. I had no soreness today just a horrible headache and felt sluggish. I feel a lot better now, hope I don’t get any other side effects.
