m_d_hIt's a one-dose vaccine, it can be stored in a standard refrigerator, it's $10 per dose, and ... it's not as effective as the Pfizer or Moderna two-dose new-technology vaccines. But when we don't have enough doses to go around, it's better than nothing. If my HMO offered me the J&J vaccine, I'd take it.
But it changes my answer to the Vaccine Discordant Bubble question I posed the other day. If I get the J&J vaccine before T gets any vaccine I will remain Quarantined until he does. Because the J&J vaccine isn't good enough to keep me from transmitting the virus to somebody else.
This is entirely academic at this point because in MoCo we're still trying to vaccinate all the 75+ folks, we're months away from shots for Bug. We'll see which shot when later.
