So I have been trying to research clotting occurrences of the the JNJ vaccine due to a work mandate that my wife just received. Can't find anything except the 28 cases and that was data from May. Does anyone know what the latest stats are? I find it strange that there seems to be no data on the web for this for the 6+ months. Thanks in advance.

It was fairly limited to a small amount of women that were on birth control if I remember correctly.

I got it in April, debating about the booster. 28 out of 15,000,000 or so doses sounds fine to me.

Same, I'm considering Moderna booster though.

Really, I'm not worried. But, I just don't like being sick. If J&J plus one dose mRNA can keep me from getting sick, I'm for it. But, I don't really want the negative side effects of moderna.

I'll probably see how people are reacting before going forward. No reason to rush.

Does anyone know, if one had J&J, would the moderna be the booster size or regular. I believe the third booster dose for Moderna is half the first two doses.

Are we about to get on a rotating schedule for jabs?

Pfizer, Moderna, J&J.....

Also, how do they know that mixing provides a better immune response but they don't know which combination is best? Seems like that should be very easy to determine if you determined initially that there is a better response...

Still, FDA officials said the data was not yet clear on whether any shot combination should be preferred. "Because we don't have those data right now, I think we just have to be noncommittal about what is the best," Marks said.

Just seems like if you KNOW it improves response you have the data to a level that can be quantified. Then you just need to put the data in buckets by combination and assess which had greater increases....can't be that hard.

I'm not in favor of mixing personally. If I decide on it it will be J&J again just because I know what to expect. And I think it would just be the single dose of the mrna shot, not the double if you go that route.

I know it's a single. But, is it the single used for dose 1/2 or the single used for dose 3 booster. They are now different.

They are ignoring the J&J vaccine at this point. That solidified my decision to get the J&J vaccine once I was coerced.

That is just not true, this was posted 17 hours ago.

U.S. FDA clears Moderna, J&J COVID-19 boosters, backs use of different vaccine for boost (msn.com)

You believe that J&J isn't the red-headed step-child of the 3? Of course there are articles about it. But I don't know how you can genuinely dispute that it is discussed far less than the other two by the powers that be.

They have clearly favored Pfizer overall, there is no rational reason for that as it is less effective. The only semi-rational reason is they filed their paperwork faster than the others.

Yeah I think there's a lot of biased opinions (no surprise). A friend of mine whose wife works in biotech was pro-Pfizer and anti-Moderna at the beginning simply because this was Moderna's first rodeo. In her words - "this isn't just their first vaccine… it's their first anything." Those kinds of early biases, even if somewhat merited, are hard to overcome.

Where can you find the j&j vaccine? I'm in Dallas area. Vaccine.gov says they are but when I go to store level they pointed to their systems say it's not available.
