Getting a second shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will give you a big boost in antibodies and an even bigger boost in T-cells, which stick around in the body far longer than antibodies. And people who've received a second shot of J&J or have gotten a first shot of the Pfizer vaccine and then got boosted with J&J lose their antibodies at a slower rate; and a J&J booster produces twice as many T-cells as a Pfizer booster.

There is a very small chance of developing blood clots after receiving a Covid vaccine, but a Covid infection increases the chance of developing blood clots in the brain 8-10 times more than vaccines. With the J&J vaccine, it's women under 50 who were warned about the small possibility of blood clots.
Quote:
The FDA updated the J&J Janssen vaccine EUA with an additional warning, noting that "women under 50 should be made aware of a rare risk of blood clots and low platelets following vaccination," said Dr. Fryhofer. "They also need to know there are other COVID vaccines out there that dont pose this small risk."
