Colleges that planned to vaccinate students have to deal with temporary J&J pause

Wed, 2021-04-14 10:59 — mike kraft
Colleges that intended to vaccinate students with J&J navigate the temporary pause For colleges and universities, the one-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 shot has been the simplest solution for quickly and fully vaccinating students who will soon disperse around the country in early May, otherwise risking both infection and transmission as they go. Schools that had other vaccine options on hand said they would reschedule students to get Pfizer or Moderna shots -- but students would then have to figure out how to get their second shot in three to four weeks if they planned to be home for the summer by then.

Discussion of 'Breakthrough' COVID Cases Among People Already Vaccinated

Tue, 2021-04-13 20:27 — mike kraft

Ginger Eatman thought she was safe after getting her second COVID-19 vaccination in February. But she kept wearing her mask, using hand sanitizer and wiping down the carts at the grocery store anyway. A few weeks later, she noticed a scratchy throat.

"By Wednesday morning, St. Patrick's Day, I was sick. I had congestion — a lot of congestion — and some coughing," says Eatman, 73, of Dallas, Ga.

Her doctor thought her symptoms might be allergies. But Eatman started feeling sicker. And then she suddenly lost her sense of smell. ...

So Eatman got tested for the coronavirus. It came back positive. ...

Eatman isn't alone in this experience. It's a long-recognized phenomenon called "vaccine breakthrough."
