HAPPENING NOW: WHO holds briefing on monkeypox and COVID-19.

Instead of using one vial per vaccination, the approach produces a total of five vaccinations per vial, according to federal officials. At the time, these officials acknowledged that giving shots this way would require more technical skill.

Health officials in Texas confirmed to ABC News that although some providers have been able to successfully extract five doses from the vials, others "cannot get five doses." In Maryland, a representative for the health department also confirmed it has heard anecdotal reports of the issues.

In the weeks after the U.S. government announced the shift in vaccination strategy, local officials have had some initial concerns about training health care providers on how to administer the shots with the new technique.
