13. That's gonna be hard

because as much as I hear people referencing "other vaccines" (e.g., J&J and AstraZeneca) -I think one is supposed to apply for an EUA some time in March and the other some time in April if their Phase III trials go well enough for the U.S. regulators (apparently AstraZeneca is already approved and being used in the UK and other parts of Europe).

I am glad to see the DPA invoked to get some more of those "low volume" syringes out there because Pfizer already dissed the U.S. about how they were contracted for the vaccine, where they ship "by dose", and the vials supposedly yield "6" despite labeling as either "5" or "up to 6". That right there can cause confusion and can screw up the numbers by generating a discrepancy about how much vaccine has actually been shipped to states if all parties are not aware of that. I.e., the normal "excess" that is provided in standard vaccine vials is usually discarded but gets added to allow for a guarantee of being able to get a full volumetric aliquot of a "dose" with each extraction).
