FDA has just released a statement from me and Dr. Peter Marks, our @FDACBER Director, regarding authorized dosing schedules for #COVID19 vaccines. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-statement-following-authorized-dosing-schedules-covid-19-vaccines
As the 1st round of vaccine recipients become eligible to receive their 2nd dose, we want to remind the public about the importance of receiving #COVID19 vaccines according to how FDA authorized them in order to safely receive the level of protection observed in clinical trials.
We have committed time & time again to make decisions based on data & science. Until vaccine manufacturers have data & science supporting a change, we continue to strongly recommend that health care providers follow the FDA-authorized dosing schedule for each #COVID19 vaccine.
