Washington: FDA Official Blocks COVID Vaccine Approvals Against Staff Advice
In Washington, the top vaccine official under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently limited the approval of two COVID-19 vaccines, going against the recommendations from agency scientists.
Federal documents released on Wednesday reveal that this decision ignored expert advice. The vaccines in question had received positive evaluations from government scientists, who supported their approval for public use. However, the official decided to restrict these approvals, citing concerns not shared by the staff.
This action has sparked discussions about the balance between scientific advice and regulatory decisions in managing public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The memos provide new insight into the agency’s internal processes and highlight challenges in vaccine approval amid ongoing health crises.
The decision impacts how quickly vaccines become available to the public and reflects tensions between leadership and scientific experts within the agency.
