The FDA authorized two mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 in December 2020, marking a major milestone in the fight against the pandemic. While these vaccines offer immunity and have shown promising results, they also pose logistical challenges that need to be addressed for wider impact.
In December 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration issued emergency use authorizations for two mRNA vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019. These vaccines represent an incredible scientific achievement and a major step in efforts to bring the global pandemic to a close. However, these vaccines create many logistical challenges that limit just how far-reaching their impact can be. This commentary reviews how these vaccines offer immunity, summarizes the Phase III trial results, and offers a discussion of the challenges that remain after these vaccines are introduced for widespread use.
