From the actual documents the company submitted to the FDA and CDC.  The J&J -Janssen Biotech vaccine is a vector vaccine employing a replication-incompetent human adenovirus Ad26 which has been modified to carry the DNA to encode for the CoVid spike proteins.  Once injected, the harmless virus enters human cells and triggers production of spike protein to which your body makes anti-CoVid antibodies and T killer cells.  The vaccine is stored as a refrigerated suspension at 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit.   It is supplied in a 5 dose vial and is given as ONE 0.5 ml IM injection containing 50 billion adenoviral particles.   The vaccine does not contain eggs or latex.

 

It was first tested for safety and immunogenicity in a phase 1 trial of 250 adults and a fu phase 1/2 trial of 1045 adults.  It’s effectiveness was confirmed and safety checked in a randomized blinded phase 3 trial involving 40,000 participants.  An additional phase 3 study is ongoing testing 2 doses of the vaccine for safety and efficiency

 

The results showed an ability to prevent moderate to critical CoVid infection for all age patients of 66%, for severe/critical cases of up to 84%, for severe/critical cases in 18-59 yrs of 85%, for severe/critical cases in 60 and older of 80%, and for severe/critical cases in 75 years and older 89%.  No fatal CoVid cases occurred in those vaccinated. 

 

This vaccine was tested in several countries where CoVid variants are spreading and becoming pervasive.  In South Africa: for moderate to severe/critical 64%; for severe/critical 82%.  In Brazil: for moderate to severe/critical 68%; for severe/critical 87%.

 

The most common adverse local reaction was injection site pain in 49%.  Swelling of armpit lymph noses occurred in 5%.

 

The 3 most common systemic adverse response were headache in 39%, fatigue in 38%, muscle aches in 33%, nausea in 15%, and fever in 12%.

 

The Johnson & Johnson Vax is safe and effective.  Get vaccinated and stay alive!
