| Summary |
Private companies, universities, and governmental entities are working to develop a vaccine for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Because the development and review process can be lengthy, the FD&C Act provides several avenues to accelerate this process for pharmaceutical products intended to treat or prevent serious diseases or conditions. In certain emergency situations, FDA may temporarily authorize the use of unapproved products or approved products for unapproved uses through an emergency use authorization (EUA). The federal government has several authorities that it could exercise should patent rights limit the affordability of or access to a COVID-19 vaccine. A COVID-19 vaccine is likely to be subject to specialized rules limiting legal liability under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act. |
