According to a report on the Politico website, pharmacists have discovered that the vials of the corona vaccine have been sufficient for more than five doses • The FDA has said that the excess doses can be used
Pharmacists have discovered that it is possible to squeeze more doses from the Pfizer vaccine bottles from the Pfizer company, it was reported last night (Wednesday) on the American website "Politico".
The surprising discovery may significantly expand the supply of vaccine doses.

Following the discovery, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that additional portions could be used.
The clarification came after some pharmacists threw away scraps from Pfizer's vaccine bottles for fear they would improve the manager's rules if they used them.
The FDA told the Politico website that in light of the emergency, it is common to use any full dose that can be obtained.
However, the federal government in the United States has not yet publicly stated this and Pfizer learned of the directive only yesterday.
It should be noted that each Pfizer vaccine vial should contain five doses.
However, pharmacists have discovered that the vial may be enough for a sixth and even a seventh dose.
