1 DR. BOLOGNESI: My question is a when
2 question. I don't think it's a what question, but
3 it's a when question. Now, I'm impressed with the
4 fact that there is a lot going on with post-exposure
5 vaccination right now.
6 If you look at the slides that Dan Hoth
7 put up on the board, there are a number of trials that
8 within, I would say, probably a period of one year can
9 provide us with a much clearer picture of whether to
10 go ahead or not with this question.
11 So, certainly, a comparative trial to me
12 is preferable, but I still ask the question: Is now
13 the right time for it?
14 CO-CHAIRMAN CARPENTER: Thank you, Dani.
15 Diane, would you like to follow up on
16 that?
17 DR. WARA: Well, what I'd like to do is
18 Just speak for a few minutes about the opportunities
19 we have in pediatrics in the context of the next six
20 to nine months, knowing that there is some difference
21 of opinion about whether we can extrapolate results
22 directly from pediatrics to adults.
