> In the US, the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) has basically said that employers can require employees to get vaccinated.
Once they're FDA approved, sure, but none of the vaccines currently being distributed are approved yet so I doubt this will be enforceable for another two or three years.
> What is the difference between FDA approved and an emergency use authorization, from the perspective of the law?
> Under an EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions[1]
The difference is that something pushed out under EUA is _not_ FDA approved. So any laws related to approved medicine, devices, vaccines, etc do not apply automatically to EUA products.
Once they're FDA approved, sure, but none of the vaccines currently being distributed are approved yet so I doubt this will be enforceable for another two or three years.
