Intradermal Monkeypox Vaccine

Santa Clara County, California will be administering monkeypox vaccine using the intradermal method. The vaccine will be delivered between layers of the skin. Somehow this method will allow one dose of vaccine to provide 5 doses, thereby allowing more people to be vaccinated. I'm just wondering what other people think about this, and is it advisable to get the vaccine this way?

I hope this will not cause a rise in manki pox again if this method turns out to be faulty.

Right now, the best vaccine is the one you can get.

[quote]and is it advisable to get the vaccine this way?

It is, there are many more immune cells in that layer than there are in the fat layer, so you get the same immune response with just one fifth of the dose. Hurts less, too.

On the flipside, it can cause redness and swelling more often than a regular injection. You also need someone who is properly trained in this method -- if they go too deep, the vaccine will be ineffective; if they go too shallow, the vaccine might seep out.

What percentage of the people testing poz for monkeypox got the mRNA injection?

God to St. Pete. "Even the Pox, can't get them prayin' & behavin'!! Send them the new improved gay plague."

I got mine deep up the valley side of LA. They had 500 doses whereas WeHo only had 200. Something was fishier than Cheryl's cunt on that one.

D.C. is also doing it this way also in order to extend the number of available doses. I already received the first dose via intramuscular administration. If the person who is giving the second dose knows what they’re doing, I assume it’ll work the way the FDA intends it to. But it does seem like a gamble.

I think it's tremendous.

My arm still has a sore, red mark. I've seen a few other guys with it. I feel like it is our Scarlet Letter. Should I still have this after almost two weeks?

Will they reuse the needles like they did with the Hep vaccinations in the late 70s?

r9, probably not. Who knows what'll happen to you next, injecting mystery chemicals into your body.

R9. Yeah. With both intradermal doses, I had a red itchy mark for a couple weeks. I've been looking at guys' forearms when out and about to see if I see other vaccinated guys.

Forearms?

Is that where they inject intradermally?

I had to get it the regular way in the upper arm because I keloid.

They didn’t ask me if I had a history of keloiding when I got the first shot; I guess they hadn’t come up with this new approach yet.

But they did ask me before the second injection.

I got a mole removed once, the resulting keloid was at least twice as big as the mole they removed and lasted 25-30 years

Keloids are wack!

Almost five weeks later and there is still a small but noticeable red mark where the intradermal dose was administered. I imagine that it will fade eventually, but for now it is easily seen.
