[^gates] * **2014-08-08** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "We currently have adequate vaccine stock for our NIH-based phase 1, an expanded phase 1 in Uganda (100 subjects with MHRP), and 1 or 2 other African phase 1 trials." [^gates] * **2014-08-08** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "Whether the funding comes to us or GSK, we will both use a contract mechanism to have the vaccine produced at Advent, which is the Okairos facility that made the first lot for us under contract." [^gates] * **2022-08-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "I think the problem is that the FDA wants to say that they have a better vaccine coming." [^fauci_diary] * **2022-08-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "Instead, they should be saying that if people need vaccination now they should get the vaccine now." [^fauci_diary] * **2022-08-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "As with all vaccines, they will be rolling out updated vaccines as they become available and when there are data to support the change." [^fauci_diary] * **2022-08-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "People in need of vaccines now should not delay in hopes of getting a "better" vaccine." [^fauci_diary] * **2022-08-02** ([vaccines](/topics/vaccines.md), asserts): "Koup, MD Acting Director Chief, Immunology Laboratory Vaccine Research Center, NIAID, NIH Tel: 301-594-8585 Fax: 301-480-2779 rkoup@mail.nih.gov Had my twice daily follow up conversation with Kevin O'Connor regarding the condition of the president."
