Thank you, @missy. I see my question may not have been clear. I'm not questioning whether to get a vaccine. I'm definitely getting one. I'm wondering whether, as between J&J (local) and Moderna, (1.5 hour drive) one might be preferable over the other. I have lupus and Sjogren's.

ok question, my almost 96 year old father in law got his 2nd shot of moderna on Thursday and just started vomiting last night...anyone experience this or think it might be the vaccine or something he ate?

Thanks for your input, @missy, @MRBXXXFVVS1 and @LightBright.
The option just arose over the weekend and I am going to call my rheumatologist tomorrow.
I thought that about the efficacy rate, too, but exploring that issue further reveals the three can't be directly compared on that factor because trials were conducted differently at different times. It looks like all
are good at preventing the most important parts which are severe illness and hospitalization, and J&J might be better at preventing the variants based on timing and location of the J&J trials. J&J is still conducting studies to see if second shot eight weeks after the first would be beneficial.
I think they would all be good short term and anticipate need for booster shot or annual shot like the flu, but what do I know, lol.
Interesting video.

If you guys had the option of modern a or phizer would you pick one over the other? Husband and I are in our 30’s, healthy enough though I have fibromyalgia. Worried about side effects from moderna seemingly being more severe.

Shot #2 with Pfizer about 10 hours ago and once again I feel like Spiderman. Super enhanced senses, and a little like someone injected me with cocaine. (never done it but I assume it feels like this. I'm going 100 miles a minute) My husband napped for 2 hours, then woke up and cleaned the house from top to bottom. Heart rate normal, temp normal, BP normal, no redness in arm. Just a little achy at the injection site. I mentioned it to my sister today, and she said she experienced something similar after shot #2, like she drank twice as much coffee as usual and really needed to CLEAN THE HOUSE. Husband and I are in our 40s. My sister is in her mid 30s.

@ForteKitty I wish I had that reaction! I need the energy to get stuff done around here!
