Fortunately, this new vaccine works particularly well in the under-60 group too. In J&J's trial, people under the age of 60 were well protected from serious infections: Only 58 out of more than 8,200 who were fully vaccinated got moderate to severe illness after their shot had time to take effect. In the similarly sized control group, 180 got moderate to severe COVID-19 infections. J&J's shot is also the only one that the FDA has reviewed, so far, that provides evidence that it helps stop people from spreading the virus asymptomatically. That is particularly useful for young people, as well as essential workers and people experiencing homelessness who may not be able to social distance, and already face more barriers getting access to vaccine or testing sites.
J&J vaccine is also much much cheaper in cost and it has a much longer shelf life with less refrigeration. In addition, folks are more likely to not bypass the second shot because there isn't one.
