Corona Calls for 04.28.2025 – a curveball for fall vaccines

Discussed in this episode:

  • The Trump FDA is asking COVID vaccine manufacturer Novavax to submit new clinical trial data before it can get authorized to distribute an updated COVID vaccine. Because it takes a while to gather such data, that would make it nearly impossible to Novavax to have shots available this fall. Could the Trump FDE use similar procedural changes to de-rail other annually-updated vaccines for things like flu and COVID?
