CONFUSION REGARDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE U.S. vs. EUROPE & CANADA
Dose strength reads:
▪︎European Union - 30 mcg
▪︎Canada - 30 mcg / .3mL
▪︎U.S. - .225 mg / 2.25 mL

For the same jab, the U.S. strength shows 7.5x more than Canada and the EU, however the ratio is the same. Question is, why did they list is this way? This drugbank page shown above is linked directly from the nih gov site.

Then, according to the FDA fact sheet, the dose recommendation for the U.S. is .3 mL and there are 6 doses per vial after dillution, but admits that the product packaging and insert may read 5 doses per vial. Just another point of potential confusion.

I sure hope everyone's local Walgreens or CVS pharmacy staff are paying attention. 🥴
