[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this to see if there's any news about full approval. I found an article online (can't link) which said Pfizer submitted for full approval in the beginning of May. The article also said that full approval could take up to 10 months to complete. I understand the EUA was enacted because it was an emergency. Many states are lifting their state of emergency orders. What happens if covid no longer qualifies as an emergency before full approval is granted?[/quote]

Nothing.  The FDA's emergency use authorization was not based on any particular state's declaration.  It's based on HHS's declarations, and HHS isn't going to yank approval while Pfizer and Moderna's applications are pending.  Becerra just renewed the COVID-19 public health emergency declaration in April, and I'd be shocked if he doesn't sign the next one in July, and then October (at least if the vaccine hasn't been formally approved).

What is the criteria for a national emergency? Things are improving rapidly here in the US.[/quote]
