Manufacturers may store vaccine under refrigeration for six months after potency testing; once it is released from their coolers, it must be used within six months.

The N.I.H. frankly admits that it has no data on this...

For one batch of 50,000 shares, Silberstein contracted to pay $52.75 when the market price was $45, thus netting his unidentified sellers $387,500. He has so far paid the Swiss bank $2,600,000, still owes $10,487,500, due next June and July...
