    A Fact Sheet for Vaccine Providers published on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA

    A Fact Sheet for Vaccine Providers published on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website

    Dated October 20, 2021
    Some highlights:

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use
    Authorization (EUA) to permit the emergency use of the unapproved product,
    Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, for active immunization to prevent
    COVID-19 in individuals 12 years of age and older.

    Myocarditis and Pericarditis

    Postmarketing data demonstrate increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis,
    particularly within 7 days following the second dose. The observed risk is higher
    among males under 40 years of age than among females and older males. The
    observed risk is highest in males 12 through 17 years of age. Although some
    cases required intensive care support, available data from short-term follow-up
    suggest that most individuals have had resolution of symptoms with conservative management. Information is not yet available about potential long-term sequelae.
    The CDC has published considerations related to myocarditis and pericarditis
    after vaccination, including for vaccination of individuals with a history of
    myocarditis or pericarditis (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-1...ocarditis.html).

    Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable
    vaccines, in particular in adolescents. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury
    from fainting.

    Altered Immunocompetence
    Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressant
    therapy, may have a diminished immune response to the Pfizer-BioNTech
    COVID-19 Vaccine.

    Limitation of Effectiveness
    Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine may not protect all vaccine recipients.

    Adverse Reactions in Post Authorization Experience

    Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and other hypersensitivity
    reactions (e.g., rash, pruritus, urticaria, angioedema), diarrhea, vomiting, pain in
    extremity (arm), and syncope have been reported following administration of the
    Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine outside of clinical trials.
    Myocarditis and pericarditis have been reported following administration of the
    Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine outside of clinical trials.
    Additional adverse reactions, some of which may be serious, may become
    apparent with more widespread use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

    FDA has authorized the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19
    Vaccine, which is not an FDA-approved vaccine.
    The recipient or their caregiver has the option to accept or refuse
    Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.
    The significant known and potential risks and benefits of Pfizer-BioNTech
    COVID-19 Vaccine, and the extent to which such risks and benefits are
    unknown.


    In order to mitigate the risks of using this unapproved product under EUA and to
    optimize the potential benefit of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, the following
    items are required. Use of unapproved Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for
    active immunization to prevent COVID-19 under this EUA is limited to the following
    (all requirements must be met):


    The vaccination provider is responsible for mandatory reporting of the
    following to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS):

    Interesting that they have verbiage that this vaccine is not approved even though the CDC jumped through hoops a few weeks back insisting that it is approved.

      Look, we can't approve this because people will sue for adverse reactions. Then we would know the real numbers. We can't have that!

        ^ Yep, that's a big part of it. Also EUA allowed them to fool around with the formulation.

          Even if they approve it, they went through a sham process to do so and are actively suppressing post-marketing surveillance. Approval or not, we'll likely never know the full scope of the issues with the product. Hopefully they aren't as bad as it appears.
