Something similar happened to my sister last month. Her friend was volunteering at one of our vaccine sites and there were a few left at the end of the day. The friend called my sister and said get down here right away, we can vaccinate you today (because she knew my sister was having trouble getting an appointment.) It was short notice but Susie made it down there and got her shot. A lot of times those extra vaccines have to be thrown out because they're no good by the next day.
I do believe I read that the storage requirements for the J&J vaccine are less stringent. Leftover shots can be saved for later if they don't use it all the same day.
In a few months there will be enough for everyone to get vaccinated. But right now is very crazy and stressful.
