Morphine Prince 92,715 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Following confirmation that monkeypox has made its way to the U.S., the government ordered millions of doses of a vaccine that protects against the virus. Bavarian Nordic, the biotech company that makes the vaccine, has announced a $119 million order placed by the U.S., with the option to buy $180 million more if it wants. Should that second option be exercised, it would work out to approximately 13 million doses. The order will convert existing smallpox vaccines, which are also effective against monkeypox, into freeze-dried versions, which have a longer shelf life. The converted vaccines will be manufactured in 2023 and 2024, the company says.

I cant just keep shooting myself every 2 months with covid and now monkeypox Well, we are in an ongoing pandemic with rapidly mutating COVID variants so it's not surprising at all that COVID boosters will be needed and new versions of vaccines will be made. COVID vaccines are not being recommended every two months, at least in my country. They are recommending a third dose at least 5 months after your initial two dose regimen. And only those 50+ have been approved to receive a fourth dose. The only reason I'm explaining this is because we need to stop with the misinformation about COVID, COVID vaccines, and vaccines in general.

Waited in line with some random paper i had to fill, waited for 3 hours, then sat down, waited again an hour or so, very very long. I get my vaccine, I wait 30 min after. My whole morning was over it was time for lunch 1 Link to post Share on other sites
