Emergency use authorizations (EUAs) are a mechanism to allow for the availability and use of medical products during a public health emergency. During the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of products have been authorized for use under an EUA. This has led to legal issues-most prominently, the legality of vaccine mandates. Language within the statute that created the EUA pathway has been subject to varying interpretations that could refuse or allow the implementation of EUA vaccine mandates and suits have been filed against organizations that have established vaccine mandates as a term of continued employment.
紧急使用授权(EUA)是一种在突发公共卫生事件期间允许医疗产品可供使用的机制。在新冠疫情期间,已有数百种产品获得紧急使用授权。这引发了法律问题——最突出的是疫苗强制令的合法性问题。创设紧急使用授权途径的法规中的措辞存在不同解释,这些解释可能会拒绝或允许实施紧急使用授权疫苗强制令,并且已经有人针对将疫苗强制令作为继续就业条件的组织提起诉讼。
