University of California San Diego is taking part in a new trial to see if we can spread out our existing vaccine supply.
UCSD is one of eight sites across the country to see if those who are most at risk for the virus can still be inoculated with a lower dosage and still have the same immune response.
This new NIH study will determine if our current supply of vaccines can be spread wide and if that lower dosage is effective. Doctor Anthony Fauci said in a release about this NIH study, “To halt the global outbreak of monkeypox and to help protect those at risk of infection, we need to ensure we have an adequate supply of monkeypox vaccine.”
