the skin. that s what the monkeypox vaccine is. and then now instead of doing it under the skin and the fat, you actually take a needle that s a little different and do it just in the skin layer like a t.b. test, if you ve ever had one, we re really used to doing this in primary care. just that different route of administration offers the ability to extend the dose. same product, same vaccine, one dose becomes five doses. that can be a game changer in terms of ability to expand the number while we wait for manufacturing to take place, while we wait for more doses to be sent to the united states. okay. what about therapeutics? where are we there? so there is no actual therapeutic for monkeypox. the therapeutic is designated for small pox, which is related
