Bc infection rate has been high, "we are hopeful that the readout of the data will be available in the coming weeks." https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF02/20210223/111226/HHRG-117-IF02-Bio-DobberR-20210223.pdf …

          AZ notes in testimony its US phase 3 #covid19 vaccine trial uses a 4-week interval for the doses, which "may not maximize efficacy" compared to a longer dosing schedule. (https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF02/20210223/111226/HHRG-117-IF02-Bio-DobberR-20210223.pdf …)

          AZ says in testimony it's benefited from use of Defense Production Act: "Since the Defense Production Act Title I priority rating was put in place, our suppliers have not communicated any significant delays of materials or equipment." Doesn't specify dose # if/when granted EUA

          AZ says it could take 8-9 months to update its #covid19 vaccine to new variants, which it's already working on for P1 (Brazil) and B.1.351 (South Africa): "it is likely the process from start to finished product would take 8 to 9 months to complete."

          meg, do you know of any aggregate data on % of people who are opting out? there were early reports that up to 30% of HCWs were opting out.

          For many people, something just doesn't smell right about this vaccine. But they don't want to say it out loud. Worried about being seen as "crazy" (i.e. anti-vax). Met 3 people over the weekend (in different situations) who fit this description. 1/

          It’s funny how everyone forgets that the majority of kids have a fever/feel like crap after one or more of the prescribed vaccinations in the 1st 5 years. Vaccines induce immune responses.
