ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
In making your investment decision, you should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus or in any free writing prospectus filed by us with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide you with any other information. If
you receive any different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it.
We and the underwriters are offering to sell the notes only in jurisdictions where sales are permitted.
You should not assume that the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the
accompanying prospectus is accurate as of any date other than its respective date.
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the terms of the offering of the notes.
The second part is the accompanying prospectus dated February 28, 2011, which we refer to as the "accompanying prospectus." The
accompanying prospectus contains a description of our debt securities and gives more general information, some of which may not
apply to the notes. The accompanying prospectus also incorporates by reference documents that are described under "Where You Can
Find More Information" in that prospectus.

Table of Contents
References in this prospectus supplement to "Johnson & Johnson," "we," "us" and "our" and all similar references are to
Johnson & Johnson and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires. However, in the
"Description of the Notes" and related summary sections of this prospectus supplement and the "Description of Debt Securities"
section of the accompanying prospectus, references to "we," "us" and "our" are to Johnson & Johnson, the parent company only, and
not to any of its subsidiaries.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain
"forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements do not
relate strictly to historical or current facts and anticipate results based on management's plans that are subject to uncertainty.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like "plans," "expects," "will," "anticipates," "estimates" and
other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future operations, financial performance, our
strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approval, market position and expenditures.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking
statement will be accurate, although we believe that we have been reasonable in our expectations and assumptions. Investors should
realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or that unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary
materially from our expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-
looking statements. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or
developments.
Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

· general industry conditions and competition;

· economic factors, such as interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations;

· technological advances, new products and patents attained by competitors;

· challenges inherent in new product development, including obtaining regulatory approvals;

· challenges to patents;

· significant adverse litigation or government action;

· impact of business combinations;

· financial distress and bankruptcies experienced by significant customers and suppliers;

· changes to governmental laws and regulations and U.S. and foreign health care reforms;

· trends toward health care cost containment;

· increased scrutiny of the health care industry by government agencies;

· changes in behavior and spending patterns of purchasers of health care products and services;

· financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk;

· disruptions due to natural disasters;

· manufacturing difficulties or delays;

· complex global supply chains with increasing regulatory requirements; and

· product efficacy or safety concerns resulting in product recalls or regulatory action.
Our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012 contains, as Exhibit 99, a discussion of additional
factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations.

RISK FACTORS
Before purchasing the notes, you should consider carefully the information under the headings "Risk Factors" in our annual
report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 30, 2012 and in our subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form
10-Q. You should also carefully consider the other information included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus
and other information incorporated by reference herein and therein. Each of the risks described in these documents could materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a partial or complete
loss of your investment. See "Where You Can Find More Information."
USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of $3,475,078,500 after deducting underwriting discounts, but before
deducting expenses of the offering. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering of notes to repay commercial paper and for other
general corporate purposes. As of September 29, 2013, we had approximately $3.0 billion of commercial paper outstanding with a
weighted average interest rate of 0.0602% and a weighted maturity of 25.9 days.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents our historical ratio and is calculated on a total enterprise basis. The ratio is
computed by dividing the sum of earnings before provision for taxes on income and fixed charges by fixed charges. Fixed charges
represent interest expense (before interest is capitalized), amortization of debt discount and an appropriate interest factor on
operating leases.
