David Perron was, in fact, vaccinated

Despite what some Colorado hockey writers who shall remain nameless might say (and really, the number of people placing credence in what he said was obscene), many members of the St. Louis Blues elected to get a league-provided COVID-19 shot.

Those shots were more than likely the Johnson & Johnson jabs, because they require just one dose, which means instead of two potential immune reactions, players only have to deal with one. Give it on an off-day that’s followed by an off-day, and the player should be good to go by the next game.

The issue with the J&J shot (and really, I use the term “issue” loosely, because the J&J shot is still crazy effective at preventing severe illness and hospitalization), is that it’s efficacy rate in preventing contraction of COVID-19 was 66.
