Why Hasn’t the FDA Updated COVID Vaccine Labeling?

A recent opinion piece from The Hill criticized the FDA-approved labeling of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, claiming that it’s outdated, misleading, and fails to provide accurate information. The authors requested that the FDA update labeling to reflect the uncertainty surrounding viral transmission reduction and include potential adverse events. However, the FDA denied their requests and didn’t follow the lead of regulators in Europe and Japan.
