So much for the “one and done”.

I realize that being in the middle of a pandemic, that science evolves. But it’s been a year now and I would feel better if they got their messaging straight and that it be definitive. There are still a lot of unanswered questions and no new developments with the three original vaccines. Shouldn’t there be more on the market by now, etc.?

I don’t relish having to do it again. That was my reasoning for getting the J&J in the first place. Unlike some here, I’m not just waiting with great anticipation to get another jab. I will speak with my doctor and take her recommendation and I’m interested to learn whether she advises another J&J or one of the others.
