I would be fine with whatever is the 1st vaccine available to me. That is what the medical experts that I see on TV recommend. The J&J vaccine has an efficacy of 72% - which means that you have a 72% chance of NOT becoming positive for CV. But in J&J tests their vaccine is 100% likely to prevent DEATH from CV. Those odds are good enough for me! For example, 60 some % is the highest EVER efficacy for the seasonal flu vaccines. We have become SPOILED by the high ( 95% ) efficacies of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
