Katrina hit some pharmacy companies really hard in our area. The "closed door pharmacy" that serves my institution was flooded (in Far Rockaway) and out of commission for several weeks, and other providers had to take over their business. But that is not the same as manufacturers getting shut down.
I do not know who was the manufacturer or supplier of doxycycline in the east coast area that got hit by Katrina, but there have been shortages of drugs at various times in recent years, for a range of reasons, some of it having to do with regulatory errors or issues or misplanning. Perhaps one of the East Coast ports where supplies came in was damaged by Katrina.
For example, the FDA only permits so much manufacturing of certain controlled substances, and if demand should go up, there will be an induced shortage. This happened with Adderall last year. Many ADHD patients had to switch to other drugs because the FDA would not permit manufacturers to make enough to satisfy growing demand, and the supply ran out before the end of the year.
Doxy is such a common generic drug I find it hard to believe there would not be mutliple worldwide suppliers. And it is normally quite cheap, especially if bought in third world countries where there are not the government subsidies and insurance systems that drive the price up here in the states.
This is an example of supply and demand being distorted by govenrment interference in free markets. Doxcycycline should be relatively cheap and plentiful normally.

OK, I left the sidelines today and entered the NVAX game at $2.09 this afternoon.
The chart looks propitious, especially the Williams %R mentioned recently (by HTL?), which touched 100, and the start of an upswing this week in a significantly oversold picture.
Another suggestion, if you are using Chrome. Add the extensions AdBlock and Ghostery, to get rid of the garbage that loads on the sidebars. That can speed things up, as well.

According to the Vickers Insider Prophets Report available through my Schwab account, Evans still holds 702,588 shares, and is the only insider who sold at the top last month (and only about 10% of his position). He is the only insider listed who has sold in the 2011-2013 time frame captured in the report. Most others have been buying and holding substantial positions for the past three years.

I have been watching NVAX for some time now, but from the sidelines. It has been on a downturn recently, but I am considering starting a small position as a spec, given their position as a manufacturer ready to go if the CDC gives them the word.
Medicago had a remarkable pop yesterday on its announcement, and it is a penny player.

I would still like to hear that they have the emergency approval blessing from CDC and FDA and are going into human trials:
