The F.D.A. is aiming to give full approval to Pfizer’s Covid vaccine on Monday.

FDA is pushing to approve Pfizer-BioNTech’s two-dose Covid-19 vaccine Monday, further expediting earlier timeline for licensing shots, according to people familiar with the agency’s planning.

Regulators working to finish process by Friday but were still working through substantial paperwork and negotiation with the company. People familiar with planning, who weren't authorized to speak publicly about it, cautioned that the approval might slide beyond Monday if some components of the review need more time.

An F.D.A. spokeswoman declined comment.

The agency had recently set an unofficial deadline for approval around Labor Day.

The approval expected to pave the way for series of vaccination requirements by public and private organizations who were awaiting final regulatory action before implementing mandates. Federal and state health officials are also hoping that approved vaccine will draw interest from some Americans who have been hesitant to take one that was only authorized for emergency use, a phenomenon suggested by recent polling.

Some universities and hospitals are expected to mandate inoculation once a vaccine is fully approved. The Pentagon earlier this month said it plans to make Covid vaccinations mandatory for the country’s 1.3 million active-duty troops “no later” than the middle of next month, or sooner if the F.D.A. acts earlier.

Once obtains approval, Pfizer-BioNTech planning to quickly ask the F.D.A. to approve a third dose as a booster shot. The Biden administration on Wednesday announced that fully vaccinated adults should prepare to get booster shots eight months after they received their second doses, beginning Sept. 20. Pfizer expected to finish submitting data that it says shows a third shot is safe and effective next week.

The F.D.A. last week updated its authorizations of Pfizer-BioNTech’s and Moderna’s vaccine to allow third doses for some immunocompromised people, a decision backed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

We need to follow Canada and UK’s lead and space out the two Pfizer doses by several more weeks. It lends more immunity. Limits need more for boosters fir non immunocompromised. And safer for younger people and teens this way according to some doctors..

You can also follow Australia and New Zealand and lock everyone down, take children from parents to vaccinate and threaten to use ankle bracelets to enforce, use military to enforce lokdowns, etc. No thanks. Shove it

May everyone in the FDA take the shot twice, just to be sure. Natural immunity is still better.

Yep...Maybe like wearing 2 or 3 masks, they need to get “vaccinated” 2 or 3 times?

Wonder if the FDA employees are mandated to get the jab?

White House staff is NOT MANDATED to get jab for employment as per Jen Psaki...

Heard CDC not mandated either...

There’s no “immunity”. The “vaccines” are bio weapons designed to exterminate all who have them injected. Be prepared for the mass die off of the injected to continue and accelerate. May God show mercy to all those who have defied His order to not take the Mark…. You will need it.
