I have to be honest and say that he helped me yesterday. I am repeating the story here in case anyone missed it or the information on the other thread.

My husband is a naval officer stationed in Italy, and he will have to have a vaccine for an upcoming mission in May. It is not the US government or the Italian government requiring it, by the way. I want to make that clear. Another country's ship is involved, so it's their mandate.

In George's many posts yesterday, he mentioned that if you don't want to take the mRNA vaccine, then wait for the Johnson & Johnson one, which apparently is not mRNA and is also one dose. He said it would be emergency approved this week.

I didn't know the J&J vaccine was not mRNA. I asked George a couple of questions, and he was nice to me and provided some answers.

Today the news indicates that the J&J vaccine will be emergency approved by the end of the week.

We were able to make some phone calls to the hospital on base today to ask them if they are going to get the J&J vaccine. They don't know, but I'm hopeful they will get it. If my husband has to get a vaccine, I want it to be the J&J (non-mRNA) one.

Sorry for the wall of text. I hope this may help someone else who might not be on the other thread. :)
