25. Considering that there has been a slow uptake of boosters

Fri Sep 2, 2022, 03:51 PM

Sep 2022

if Congress doesn't add any additional funding, then the availability of doses may extend well past January.

One the slides presented at yesterday's CDC ACIP meeting -

What might be do-able, considering that CDC wants to now consider the "bivalent" booster as THE booster (vs just using another dose of the current vaccines) and considering that the bivalents are basically a combo of "the original" monovalent + their "new" Omicron-BA.4/BA.5 monovalent, then I'm wondering if they could actually recover unused "original" and just buy the Omicron monovalent and do some kind of manual combo of that (which would be a dilution of each by 1/2 before combining).
