In reply to the discussion: The FDA must give full approval on the vaccines. [View all]RegularJam
(914 posts)They are expected to do so by the end of the month. I guarantee they are working as quickly as possible to do so as being granted approval will allow them to market directly to consumers. They authorized it for emergency use in very short order. Additionally, I do not see full approval as something that is going to shape hearts and minds when it comes to taking it. There is a lot of quality data out there right now competing with the conspiracy theories. That will not change once fully approved. What will change is how the vaccines are marketed, distributed, and pricing. Pfizers shot isn't even currently approved under the emergency order for all Americans.
I also don't think this is something that is going to be clear cut when it comes to messaging. Pfizer will most likely be applying for emergency acceptance of boosters at the same time they apply for full approval.
People will muddy the waters no matter the situation.
