A controversial decision to split vaccine doses into fifths and use an intradermal injection method appears to have paid off. | Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesIn early August, as he prepared to take the stage at an international AIDS conference in Montreal, Demetre Daskalakis caught a brief glimpse into his immediate future.
“It was like, I know that I’m going to the White House!” Daskalakis said in a recent interview, recalling his thought process as he watched the scene unfold. Speaking on a recent weekday afternoon from the small office they’ve shared since arriving in Washington, Fenton and Daskalakis acknowledged they had few guarantees early on that their efforts to restore trust in the government’s response and quickly rein in the outbreak would gain traction.
“The strategy has been set,” Fenton said. “We’re headed definitely in the right direction to make that transition.
The White House also caught a pair of critical breaks: The group of men who have sex with men at highest risk proved willing to change behaviors to avoid infection,, slowing the virus’ spread while the government scrambled to catch up. A controversial decision to split vaccine doses into fifths and use an intradermal injection method — depositing the vaccine into the skin rather than under it — appears to have paid off as wellThe progress has emboldened the Biden mpox team.
