EUA Guidelines

EUA, or Emergency Use Authorization, is a provision that allows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to quickly authorize the use of medical products, like vaccines and treatments, during public health emergencies. This process helps speed up access to potentially life-saving products when there’s insufficient time for the standard lengthy approval process. EUA is based on preliminary evidence suggesting that the product may be effective and safe, even if complete clinical trials aren’t finished. It aims to protect public health while ensuring that any authorized product meets essential safety and effectiveness standards.
