Question:
2.8 Studies have fixed the short-run price elasticity of demand for HPV vaccines at -0.25. Suppose that transportation issues lead to a sudden cutoff of vaccine supplies.

b. Suppose that the government imposes a price ceiling on HPV vaccines at $130 per dose. How would the relationship between vaccine recipients and hospital/clinic owners change?
