 “I read that the vaccines are still in clinical trials and therefore the FDA hasn’t approved them. I do know they need been approved for emergency use but what does it mean that they're still in trials and therefore the FDA hasn’t approved them?” -Giovanna


The big difference is that to realize FDA approval, volunteers are observed for an extended period of your time to work out how long a vaccine provides protection and whether there could be rare effects down the road, usually six months versus the 2 months required for EUA. A EUA may be a temporary authorization to urge vaccines to bend the general public quickly to save lots of lives but the vaccine manufacturers will eventually apply for full FDA approval.

“I just recovered from COVID-19 and called the Red Cross to donate convalescent plasma. They said the govt pack up the convalescent plasma program. I’m so disappointed because I wanted something good to return out of my experience!” -Andrea on Facebook

“I am invited for Easter dinner with one family. Several members have recently had the virus and everyone other are seriously quarantining. The mother is now 90-year-old. I actually want to travel. Is it okay?” -Linda who is fully vaccinated

We’re still unsure if you'll contract the virus and pass it on to others. If the unvaccinated relations at Easter dinner are at low risk of severe COVID-19 then it’s something you certainly can consider. But has the 90-year-old been fully vaccinated? If not, she would be considered high risk and vulnerable.
