Johnson and Johnson Covid vaccine

[Hazelnut2020]

Hi,

Anyone here took the johnson and johnson vaccine? I took mine in early April and in view of the blood clot in several recipients, I wonder if I should take an mRNA for my booster or stick to johnson and johnson. My hematologist might not have enough info to advise me but I will nevertheless ask her in my next visit. Just wondering…

In general the risk of any of the vaxes is far less than the risks of catching the disease, (I've had both) ; unless your Dr considers you to have specific risk factors, for example certain allergic reaction history.

But recent data supports getting the mRNA as your 2nd as it is showing to be more effective as a booster/extra shot. Between Pf and Mod, the Moderna is showing to be most effective, likely from its higher dosing compared to Pf. (100 or 50mcg vs 30 for Pfizer) Here is one reference, there are others I have seen supporting the Mod option.

increase in their neutralization response more frequently than those who were boosted with Ad26.COV.S (J&J>>
