Hopefully someone will correct me if my numbers are off, but this is what I remember from a conversation with a nurse:
A vial contains 0.24 mL of concentrated vaccine, which is then diluted with 1.8 mL for a total of 2.04 mL. This is enough for six 0.3 mL doses, or 1.8mL - which leaves 0.24 mL remaining. ie. not quite enough for a seventh 0.3 mL dose.
So.. what is the method to obtain a seventh dose? The article does not say.
