In reply to the discussion: Resistance to vaccine mandates is building. A powerful network is helping [View all]BumRushDaShow
(128,889 posts)18. For "public health emergency" purposes it is
but as noted in my post - it is up to the states to institute mandates based on their laws and/or state Constitution. When it comes to quarantines, the feds do have statutory authority.
I expect they may start submitting data for final approvals this fall/wnter. Normally the vaccine approval process (non-emergency) takes several years. The expedited manner of this this was due to some work that had already been in process over the past decade after the SARS CoV-1 pandemic in Asia and MERS. Plus now they will all have a massive amount of data - at least regarding adverse events.
