There appears to be some breakthrough infections of the South African variant in people immunized with Pf vaccine, though not life threatening. Does J&J protect from that variant?
Maybe wait a couple three months until further studies clarify (hopefully) which vaccines work best at protecting against different variants, and which variants are predominant at that time.
I think boosters will be recommended by the CDC come autumn.
The J&J does protect against the South African variant, though the level of protection goes down... but it was the only of the three current vaccines which was tested while the South African and UK variants were spreading.
