The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given full approval for the Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine and officials are hoping it will result in more people getting vaccinated after some cited the shot only being given under emergency use authorization as a reason for not getting their jab. There are 92 million Americans fully vaccinated with Pfizer, but there are still plenty of skeptics.
The FDA used data from 44,000 clinical trial participants in order to guide their decision for full approval, but despite this some experts say it may not be the top reason prompting individuals to get their shots but it likely will have influence on businesses and governments in terms of putting vaccine mandates in place. In fact, within minutes of the approval, New York City would require all teachers and school support teachers to get the jab and the Pentagon said it would require full vaccination among military members.
As Jackson Proskow reports, through mandate or motivation, there is hope FDA approval will result in more widespread vaccination at a point when cases and hospitalizations continue to rise across the country.
