| My husband received the J&J he was down for about 2 days with a headache and feeling icky. I had the Pfizer 1st shot I ran errands afterwards, the 2nd shot I had a terrible migraine and my already high blood pressure went sky high. Since then no issues! |

| I had the Moderna full series then just got a Pfizer booster. I know someone who had JJ and also got the Pfizer booster. No issues. |

     Location: Jersey Girl | My husband had the J& J in probably March or April. He had no issues. I had the Pfizer just in the last couple of months. No issue with the first dose, the second left me a little achy and tired for 2 days. Otherwise, no issues. |

       Location: Displaced Iowegian | We have had all three shots of the Moderna and no significant problems. I was a little tired after the second dose. IF you are given a choice, I would get the Phizer or Moderna....both have eficacy of over 90% whereas the J & J in in the 66%+ range. I would really like to know exactly which vaccine those who have contracted the virus after vaccination had taken. I would bet it was the J & J.

From what I have read, it's all 3 vaccines. I know it doesn't matter which one you took when it comes to vaccine injury. The poor people I follow report vaccines from each brand. The severity of the vac injury does not seem to depend on any one in particular. |

    Location: Good ole SE Mo | I got the j&j not quite 2 weeks ago, and only cuz it was the last day I could to keep my job. I didn't have any negative effects,...,.. yet. I also have not had covid, I don't really get sick. I chose the j&j cuz it was a one and done. I do know of another girl that got the j&j the week before I did and she had a few days of bad flu like symtoms but she is good to go now. |

| Hubby got J&J in April. He got chills for the first 24 hours. Then he had a mild headache, tired, and brain fog for about 3 days. He recently got the Pfizer booster and had no issue other than a mildly sore arm. I had Pfizer for my first two doses with no issue other than a mildy sore arm and a headache for 1 day with the 2nd shot. I will also get Pfizer for my booster once it's due. Covid is such a crap shoot, I've known some who by all reports should have gotten very ill, breeze right through. I've known others who were not at all high-risk, die within 4 days of diagnosis. A friend I grew up with died 3 weeks ago.  He was not vaccinated (and I personally feel that was his choice to make. His body, his choice). Nope, a vaccine isn't going to totally prevent you from getting covid.... but it does increase your chances of surviving it if you're one of the ones who may not have. |
