Will a vaccine targeting the Omicron variant be available in the US before April 1, 2022?

If a vaccine engineered to specifically provide protection against the Omicron variant of COVID-19, whether or not it additionally protects against other variants of SARS-CoV-2, is released for public use in the US, regardless of whether its use is restricted to particular population segments, before April 1, 2022, 12:00:00 AM ET, this market will resolve to “Yes.” Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”. The source used to resolve this market will be official information released by the FDA (https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/emergency-use-authorization) and/or other official information from the government of the United States of America. Note, this market is only for a vaccine’s availability in the United States, and does not cover any vaccine’s availability in any other country.

How trading works

Polymarket uses a central limit order book (CLOB) model — you can buy or sell shares of any outcome at the current market price, or place limit orders at your target price. All positions are settled in USDC when the market resolves.

Resolution

Markets resolve through UMA's Optimistic Oracle. After the market closes, a proposer submits a resolution, followed by a 2-hour dispute window. If no dispute is raised, the resolution is accepted. Disputed markets go to UMA token holder vote.
