(Starts at 00:01:00)
Abstract: Should early approval be given for the first vaccine candidates to prevent harm from covid? Who will decide this issue—companies, DSMBs, states, FDA or all of these. If early access is desirable should it be under an EUA or an EA and what is the difference? And if there is early access who goes first? Will early access jeopardize ongoing and soon to start phase 3 trials?
