Only About 5,900 Doses Of Ebola Vaccine Are Still On Hand, And In Stock In DRC...


With almost 29,000 people vaccinated there -- we are beginning to see the limits of the "investigational" vaccine production runs, at Merck. It is my experienced conjecture (of over two decades) -- but conjecture, just the same -- that FDA approval will come very quickly, and full-on commercial volume runs will begin immediately. . . if the available stockpile dips below 1,500 doses.

The latest Situation Report, on the bottom of page 7, from WHO:

. . . .As of 10 November 2018, 424 new contacts were vaccinated in 13 rings in affected health zones, bringing the cumulative number of people vaccinated to 28,727. Two new vaccination teams were trained in Butembo, with support from Médecins Sans Frontières, and vaccination teams were supervised in Beni, Vuhovi, Mutwanga, Kalunguta and Kyondo. The current stock of vaccine in Beni is 5,870 doses. . . .


Now you know -- onward.
