FDA gives approval for syringes to extract an extra dose from vials of the Covid-19 vaccine

As the US set a new daily record for Covid-19 inoculations and states clamored for more vaccine supplies, Pfizer and the FDA said pharmacists and health practitioners can in some cases extract an additional dose from each vial.

Originally, each vial of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine was designed to contain five doses, but some pharmacists reported they could extract six doses when using certain syringes. As a result, the FDA approved an updated label that states:"Low dead-volume syringes and/or needles can be used to extract six doses from a single vial. If standard syringes and needles are used, there may not be sufficient volume to extract a sixth dose from a single vial.

You employees and FoxNews employees know what's going on don't you? How tragic it's going to take a miracle for you individuals to change from your employment ways. Especially past 12 AM

Is this pandemic over? I remember everyday I watched CNN about 25% of screen was occupied by a message scaring us how many people were infected with covid-19 and how many died of it. I don't see it anymore. Is pandemic really over?

Why aren’t banks/corporations, who’ve made trillions off of the American public, stepping up to pay for the vaccination of every American? Without us there would be NO them!

More shoddy and incorrect “news” from CNN. This story is riddled with incorrect information.

Great. Another dose for Cuomo to waste!

Why can't it be in pill form ?

Nonsense. May the Lord Jesus Christ scatter this vaccine. May God make this vaccine to melt and become useless in the body of ordinary people. The blood of Jesus Christ shall prevail against every evil agenda.

Wow

? When I first looked at retweet it popped up something totally different.

Wait are they using the same needle on multiple people

Why is CNN quiet 🤐 at this flagrant flip flopping? Lies

Biden did more in two days then Trump did in 4yrs. Biden is getting sh*t done!🇺🇸🙌💪

WOW

So big pharma win again. I'm guessing this special syringe cost is 800% mark up to a normal tuberculin syringe?
