Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine - Pros & Cons

I will get it but I am not 65 so it will probably be awhile. I know we still have to be careful even with the vaccine but it will feel nice not to be as worried about doing things. I did have a really bad case of the flu several years ago...and I would imagine this is worse. I wouldn't even want to be that sick again. I definitely get the flu shot every year since then and have never had the flu again. I also am not on any medication for anything.

I will admit I probably would not have got one under TFG if it had been approved the first of November.

Only God knows when any of the vaccines will be available at the Clinic I go to. I may try to go to CVS if when they have it which will be soon I've heard.

Is the Astra Zeneca the same formula as J&J? mRNA technology..........is this a reason why the vaccine was developed so incredibly swiftly?

From my understanding yes J&J and AstraZeneca use the same technology that has been used for former vaccines.

The Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines the new mRNA technology.

I believe you are correct.

AZ and J&J are based on the same technology but not exactly the same. Neither are mRNA those are Pfizer and Moderna.

Right, none are exactly the same.

Pfizer and Moderna both use the mRNA technology but not identical. The other 2 do not use the mRNA technology and are not identical to each other.
