The situation presents more complexities than the process the agency went through when it authorized different vaccine shots for elder populations on a non-simultaneous schedule.
That leaves the FDA with the prospect of green-lighting Moderna’s vaccine, only to potentially find out several weeks later that Pfizer’s vaccine performs far better.A senior Biden official In response to a request for comment on its deliberations over the vaccine, the FDA spokesperson said the agency’s “approach has always been to conduct a regulatory review that’s responsive to the urgent public health needs created by the pandemic, while adhering to our rigorous standards for safety and effectiveness.”
“The actions have not supported the language,” Kavita Patel, a primary care physician and former senior Obama-era health official, said of the administration’s vaccine messaging. “It is hard to imagine how any parent can continue to have blind faith in the administration as each day passes without any options.”

Gardner_LM adamcancryn Any updates from your sources as to whether or not the administration is still considering delaying approval of Moderna if they submit next week. Parents are really upset about this news and we're hoping they've reconsidered.
Hey GovPritzker SenDuckworth SenatorDurbin. Illinoian parents need you to speak on this. Entirely unacceptable. We want to vaccinate our children to protect them from COVID 19.
Letting kids die to protect Pfizer's profits. Classy
I may now wait to vote for Biden again if he does this. Germany has been vaccinating under 5s for a while now.
Hey FLOTUS DrBiden can you help us? Protect kids now. ImmunizeUnder5s
Hey DrBiden please help us if you can. Protect kids now. ImmunizeUnder5s

POTUS WHCOVIDResponse is it easier to rationalize more infection & life altering health consequences? Our kids deserve better. Families deserve better. What is your perceived benefit to waiting? 🗳💵🦠🏥 ImmunizeUnder5s ProtectionOverPolitics totvaxsummer
This is bullshit. Parents don't need the US_FDA to make this decision for them. How many more kids get covid while we wait? DrCaliff_FDA authorize moderna_tx NOW! POTUS TELL DrCaliff_FDA TO AUTHORIZE moderna_tx NOW! ImmunizeUnder5s
Are you kidding me?! Delaying a vaccine because it would be “harder to promote” if you made one available sooner? I hope JoeBiden and Congress will tell the FDA that kids need any vaccine as soon as it’s safe and effective. ewarren EdMarkey RepKClark
I promise not to get confused, just release the fucking vaccine
There are still people out there that think it is a hoax. How do you fix stupid?
CNN reported that Pfizer will not have necessary data until June. Not so much administration 'waiting' as needing the data for approvals.
