Careful using the word 'approval'. That isn't the same thing as Emergency Use Authorization. The PDF states:
> The issuance of an EUA is not an FDA approval (licensure) of a vaccine.
- timr 5y agoVery true. Though given the number of children who will now get the vaccine, I think it's a distinction without much practical meaning.
- IdoRA 5y agoFrom a regulatory perspective, you are saying that the FDA has done something that they did not do. “Approved”, “cleared”, “granted”, and “authorized” all have distinct meanings.
- timr 5y agoThis is a pedantic debate. The door is now open for millions of kids to get the vaccine. This was not possible yesterday.
