How can the public trust the FDA's vaccine approval process?
The FDA's vaccine approval process is designed to be transparent, science-based, and free from external pressures. The agency publishes detailed information about the clinical trials and the data used in the approval process. Independent advisory committees, such as the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), provide additional oversight. These measures ensure that the public can have confidence in the safety and efficacy of approved vaccines.
