The FDA is ready to restrict access to coated vaccines

The Food and Drug Administration will allow the use of vaccines coasted by adults over 65 and those who have certain medical conditions in the fall, but may require additional studies before approving the shots for healthy Americans under the age of 65, agency officials announced on Tuesday.

At this stage, the additional doses offer “uncertain” advantages to many young and average age that have already been vaccinated or have had a core, Dr Vinay Prasad, the FDA vaccine chief, and Dr Martin Makary, the agency’s commissioner, in the New England Journal of Medicine.

“The FDA will approve vaccines for high -risk people and, at the same time, will require robust and standard data on low -risk persons,” the officials wrote.

Until now, annual coated plans have been recommended for all those of 6 months and more. FDA scientific advisers should meet Thursday to decide on the composition of the conscious vaccine to be made available in the fall.

During the pandemic, Dr. Prasad and Dr. Makary brutally criticized the mandates of vaccines and other public health measures intended to retreat the coronavirus.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health, is a long -standing skeptic of the vaccine that has spent years campaigning against the couples, wrongly affirming that the vaccines had killed more people than the virus.
