One of the agency’s highest priorities is ensuring the quality, safety and effectiveness of vaccines. This deep and abiding commitment is something that we consider essential to engendering the public’s trust in vaccines. #FDAVoices #FDAVaccineFacts fda.gov/news-events/fd…
Vaccines are one of the most significant public health interventions ever implemented. They have been largely responsible for the dramatic reduction in serious adverse consequences and death related to infectious diseases
FDA is committed to making decisions regarding the authorization or approval of #COVID19 vaccines that are guided by science and data & we are committed to expediting the development of COVID-19 vaccines, but not at the expense of sound science and decision making.
An upcoming key milestone is the meeting of our Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee on 10/22, at which the committee will discuss publicly the general development of COVID-19 vaccines. fda.gov/news-events/pr…
While this meeting is not intended to discuss any particular vaccine candidates, the agency is also prepared to rapidly schedule additional meetings of this Committee upon submission of any applications or requests for EUAs to further ensure transparency.
We will not jeopardize the public’s trust in our science-based, independent review of these or any vaccines. There’s too much at stake.
