We have a trip planned this Jan to Europe and we are trying to figure out what vaccine she should get. Learning towards J & J because we don't think a 2 dose vaccine is necessary. Opinions?
I had covid in March 2020. I wasn't super sick but lost smell and taste, extreme chest pressure, fatigue, weird aches, didn't feel well for about six weeks after. I got Pfizer May 2021 and the first shot was fine but the second shot made me feel very ill, way worse than having covid, and it took a month to feel back to normal. I think that JnJ can be a great choice for those with prior covid, assuming that she's not at risk for the blood clots (primarily females under age 50).
