FDA Willing to Authorize Coronavirus Vaccine Before Phase 3 Trials Are Complete, Agency Head Says

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Stephen Hahn told the Financial Times in an interview published Sunday that the agency is willing to issue an emergency use authorization (EUA) for vaccines that protect against the novel coronavirus before phase 3 clinical trials for the vaccines are complete. He noted, however, that a final decision will ultimately be based on the data that's submitted by drugmakers.
