Yes i would take it if offered. We have gotten flu vaccinations every year. The majority of years they have been effective. CDC is guessing what will be the dominate strain each year.

The J&J vaccine reduces the severity of COVID making it much more survivable. If it can be produced and administered in sufficient quantities to be given to the under 65 sector of the population, it would really assist in slowing COVID's spread. Also this would allow the more effective vaccines to be used for the higher risk portion of the population. The combination of both would largely reduce mortality as the spread would be stymied.
