Standard vaccine reviews generally take several months to a year or more to determine whether it is safe and effective for use in the general public. But due to the pandemic, which has killed nearly 600,000 Americans, the FDA permitted the use of the shots under an EUA.

In a public health emergency, the manufacturing and approval of vaccines can be streamlined through emergency authorizations. Former Health Secretary Alex Azar declared a public health emergency on Jan. 31, 2020. The health emergency has been renewed several times, most recently in late April. The FDA allowed the use of the shots with just two months of safety data under an EUA. It’s not the same as a Biologic License Application, or a request for full approval, which requires at least six months of data.


I believe they started the actual trials about a year ago around May 2020, with the vaccines receiving EUA approvals late last November (2020). Since then, the trials have continued, plus you then had the general public having started to receive the vaccine last December 2020 (with health workers included early on, where they could contribute some additional medical data from those individuals beyond that available from the general public). Therefore Juneish 2021 would be the 6 months mark for the earliest public use, which can provide some supplemental data (although that data in general isn't as tightly controlled as a trial participant's). So they are in good shape at the moment.
