In reply to the discussion: I was all excited about an appointment this Thursday to get the J&J vaccine... [View all]LisaL
(45,036 posts)28. While someone is waiting they can get infected.
J&J is going to be really hard to find in upcoming weeks, because of manufacturing issue with the plant that contaminated millions of doses.
So either one can look for J&J in vain, or get vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna.
Choices don't mean making a stupid choice.
One dose versus two doses doesn't sound like a good reason to me.
Unless one is allergic to a specific vaccine, one really shouldn't be that picky during a pandemic. My first choice was Pfizer. I got Moderna because that was the one I could get the soonest.
There is a reason authorities are urging people to get what they can get the soonest.

I got my second Pfizer yesterday. It was the vaccine offered through my employer.

The do what you think is best for you, period. Sometimes the best advice is no advice.

Clearly. Consider mine the unadvice advice. Like an unbirthday or the uncola. NT

The "just get any shot" crowd represents the vast majority of the medical community.

I will stick with the recommendations of the vast majority of the medical community.

I've read much less J&J shipping, possibly due to 15 mill contaminated doses
