Vaccine in October

Recommended Posts

While I was getting my flu shot at Kaiser last week a nurse mentioned "they" were paying $700 to be in the stage III trials. hmmm. 

Unfortunately the vaccine is two shots a month apart but it seems very safe, very effective and may be better as a nasal spray eventually. (Let's hope it's more effective than the flu shot).The US government has 300 million doses paid for being made now and the EU has 500 million.

I hope the good news is true. Just be aware that a successful vaccine developed this fast is abnormal, and apparently has never been done before (just referencing what I’ve heard epidemiologists say; I have no expertise in this). When they sidestep the usual processes for drug approval for this, as I’m sure they will, I hope they’ll still be able to track and study effectiveness as they would normally do with subjects in a controlled study.

FORGET a vaccine for awhile, even if it becomes available so quickly, can you trust it ?

I'll just keep doing this ALONE at home until it is safe to "partner-up" again !
