Here is an article about a JH study comparing mRNA and J&J response in tx patients from Aug 2021
https://journals.lww.com/transplantjournal/Fulltext/2021/08000/Antibody_Response_to_the_Janssen_COVID_19_Vaccine.35.aspx
In this very small study J&J evoked much less response. (Need to clarify if this was an initial dose or a third, following two mRNA doses?)
It is encouraging, though, that @diana61 had a robust response to J&J as a third vaccine! As did the transplant doctor/patient in the video.
I'm in the JH study and had a third dose of Moderna, which again produced NO antibodies 🙁
I live in Gainesville FL and am having to be more cautious than ever with the high rates of infection and lack of masking by many.

Thank you so much @nanmargaret for this link! There are several interesting studies included in the listing that I will be reading! I also live in Florida so I understand your concern with the level of infection and the lack of mitigation and respect. (I think Gainesville is also a college town which may compound the problem if the university is not requiring vaccination, testing or masks.). Do you feel safe to go out while wearing your mask or do you prefer to stay home to be safe? I find it difficult to decide how much risk I want to take by going out with my mask. Very few people are wearing masks indoors so my protection is not that good if only I am wearing the mask.
