No one who received the J&J vaccine was hospitalized or died of coronavirus during the period of 28 days post vaccination, according to the company's clinical trial. Effectiveness against severe disease increased over time — to more than 90%.

Experts say in no way should those percentages be interpreted in a way that suggests the Johnson & Johnson shot — with its 72 percent effectiveness — is 23 percentage points less effective.

Both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech successfully targeted that variant, called D614G, which was the predominant variant when those trials took place. Johnson & Johnson’s Phase 3 clinical trials began later, after the emergence of certain other variants.There is no way to know how the Moderna and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines would have fared in the same scenario.

“It has the potential to reach many people who have had great logistical barriers,” said Dr. Muriel Jean-Jacques, an assistant professor of medicine at Northwestern University. “It has literally taken the National Guard and the military to get the vaccine out effectively to many rural communities. How wonderful it is to be able to do that much more simply.

Some people"cannot afford to take a day off to get a second vaccine," he said."If you are unlikely to return for a second vaccine, I think the Johnson & Johnson may be better."The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is what’s known as an adenovirus vector vaccine. It uses an inactivated adenovirus, a type of virus that can cause the common cold, that has been engineered to carry the genetic code for the coronavirus’s spike protein.

Which is great. However I also am concerned about mild/moderate covid which can cause many long term symptoms and conditions.

I pray daily that this vaccine will be available in my area soon.

Come on J&J shoot me up!

Thank You Johnson & Johnson!❣️💯✨URDaBest

Why is the news media putting out press releases for big pharma?

BurtonBrown U Srbiji od 2mil vakcinisanih kinezom niko nije umro. So?

How can you say the vaccine is preventing severe illness? Most of us would not get severely ill if we caught it. The article states nothing of value.

Okay. So they didn't d!e...how many got sick? Did they exhibit any long hauler symptoms? I have so many questions. And NO I am not anti-vaxxer. I will take what one I get. But Johnson and Johnson k!lled people w/talc and fought the lawsuit. Questions are valid.

Are there any stats yet on people who get the J & J vaccine, subsequently do become infected and the incidence of long Covid?

I would love to have this vaccine or any Covid Vaccine !! This 64 year old feels like a 15 year old waiting to be old enough to get a driver’s license.

I would take any shot to protect my family and my patients. Our government has been slow to act on vaccination, and doesn’t prioritize healthcare workers or cancer patients.

Great!

Even coming from NBC news that's good news!

Why does this feel like its not 100% true in order to help J&J make money? This vaccine situation sux. And we could have easily partnered w/ Moderna. Take whatever damn vaccine you get cuz its about more than you and all will keep you 'alive.' But this situation sux.

Also got mine

where the hell is it.. when will all get the vaccine? ..all we get is half ass reports. Stop trying to convince ust o take it. Soon or later ppl will get their head outta their ass. there are more of us ready to take it.. so where the hell and when the hell ..is the questions?

Senior Citizens & People with Disabilities are being Mistreated, Neglected & Overmedicated in Hospitals & Nursing Homes. I’ve written letters to MD Legislators, Governor, Congress, President & No One is Listening 😢🙏🏻

Take the vaccine offered and save a life, including your own

I think I want the J&J

TheGimpyNinja

One shot. In. When is this going to be available and how can we find out who will be distributing this

It has gotten to South Dakota but haven’t gotten mine 😢

It was just 66% .....now over time more than 90%....information out of nowhere after EUA....go get cucked liars

Stop gaslighting people about the efficacy of the J&J vaccine. It is 72% effective compared to 95% for Moderna and Pfizer. It is a good vaccine but clearly not the best. Prediction: this vaccine will mainly end up in the arms of the poor and People of Color.

thank you very much for your work

catholics won’t be taking this vaccine so there will be more to go around

Get mine tomorrow! 💉 🙌🏻

Yes i will trust a company that lied about asbestos in their talcum powder for decades

So what? 99.85% of American didn't die from COVID in the last 12 months.

I can’t wait for my shot! I have very bad allergic reaction in past medical procedures.

thanks

Wait!! No one died or was hospitalized... And here I am thinking that light headache or itching skin will be the worst side effects 🤦‍♂️

Biden virus has claimed 120k+ Americans. Impeach Biden ,Harris , and Pelosi

I hope to get the JJ vaccine. One shot and DONE☑️

Were test subjects intentionally exposed to the virus?

Doing nothing has 99.4% efficacy against death.

Fantastic news.

Biden’s America
