Job is requesting I get vaccine

My job is requesting (for now, anyway) that I get the vaccine before I go on a business trip. I don't have to, but the idea of not being paid for sick days is bouncing around the organization, if one does not have the vaccine and gets sick from covid.
Assuming I take the vaccine, which would you take? The J&J is not mRNA, so I'm leaning toward that. I would prefer to wait for the Novavax, but don't know when that will ever be released.

So whats your company gonna do when you get the Vax then you still end up testing positive at some point?

Mine did as well, 2 weeks ago.
Strange, that is the same day I submitted my letter of resignation.
Had planned on retiring. Just happened earlier than I had expected. September 11, 2021. Hoo-fricking-ray!

Start a competing business and make them go bankrupt

Let’s not pay for sick days, so the sick employee goes out and works.
Genius covid policy

For my company, it is the insurance companies applying the pressure, due to the fact that the vaccine reduces the chance that you'll have a hospital stay.

If you are afraid of the mRNA vaccine then get the more traditional J&J. Though Moderna looks to be the best in terms of efficacy and likelihood of side effects.
But seriously don't take anyone's word for it on a political message board. Go search up the different vaccines and make your own choice.

If you take sick days how will they know it is due to COVID?

Congrats

The J&J is not mRNA
Ultimately, choose either. It's up to you.

We went from "Just say no to drugs" to industries pushing drugs.
Like I learned when I was a child, I won't put up with these bullies pressuring me to take drugs. I will "just say no."

So what will be the difference between the J&J and the Novavax?
I know there was the initial false scare around blood clots from the JJ, but have they had the same issue on the heart that the MRNA has?

Honestly, the opinions and research posted by members on TD is more reliable than what the media and government have put out for public consumption

Exactly. I'm seeing more and more misinformation about J&J on this site as the pressure to get any of the vaccines is ramping up. Big misconception that the J&J is just like the protein based flu shot -- it's not. That would be Novavax which the FDA is slow walking for emergency approval.
Just because J&J is only 1 shot and is not mRNA doesn't mean it's the traditional protein based either.

Just go into work if you do get it ... problem solved with the unpaid sick days.

Novavax is expected 4Q 2021, so 6 to 20 weeks or so
