Pretty much everyone on this list is highly
connected with this stuff, but this is a biggie,
so just in case.
Especialy as some folk here live near
the fault line.

If You Got the Johnson & Johnson Shot, SF General Will Give You a
'Supplemental' Pfizer or Moderna Shot
Starting later this week, if you received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson
vaccine, you're eligible to drop into the vaccination clinic at SF General and
get a "supplemental" mRNA vaccine dose - but don't call it a booster.
The decision was made Monday by Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital
(ZSFG) and San Francisco's Department of Public Health (SFDPH), as ABC 7
reports, following multiple reports that the J&J vaccine may not be as
effective in preventing infection from the Delta variant as mRNA-based Pfizer
and Moderna vaccines. With the first variants of COVID-19 that were spreading
last year, the J&J vaccine was seen as highly effective in preventing severe
illness, but new data suggests that the mRNA vaccines provide strong protection
against what appears to be a stronger and more infectious variant.
But they are being careful to call it a "supplemental dose," not a booster.
