Question:
Should people turn down the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and wait for the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine instead?
Answer:
No. A team of medical experts confirmed for the Verify team that people should feel comfortable taking the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
Although the Johnson and Johnson vaccine trial showed a lower efficacy rate in preventing moderate to severe cases, it was very successful in stopping serious illness, and 100 percent effective in preventing hospitalizations or death.
