France is trying to sell surplus doses of H1N1 vaccine that they purchased under the impression that everyone would need two doses for full immunity.
"They have 65 million citizens, and they ordered 94 million doses," says ACSH's Dr. Gilbert Ross. "It turns out only 5 million of them were vaccinated. I'd say they overestimated."

"Anyone who followed the literature knew that that idea of two doses was just something being thrown around in the beginning," says ACSH's Dr. Elizabeth Whelan. "There was never any policy in any country that anyone besides young children might need two. At least they will be prepared in case a third wave of infections occurs."
