  • Whether Section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Prohibits Entities from Requiring the Use of a Vaccine Subject to an Emergency Use Authorization
    (Slip Opinion) Whether Section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Prohibits Entities from Requiring the Use of a Vaccine Subject to an Emergency Use Authorization Section 564(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act concerns only the provision of information to potential vaccine recipients and does not prohibit public or private entities from imposing vaccination requirements for a vaccine that is subject to an emergency use authorization. July 6, 2021 MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE DEPUTY COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT Section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3,1 authorizes the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to issue an “emergency use authorization” (“EUA”) for a medical product, such as a vaccine, under certain emergency circumstances. This authoriza- tion permits the product to be introduced into interstate commerce and administered to individuals even when FDA has not approved the product for more general distribution pursuant to its standard review process. Section 564 directs FDA—“to the extent practicable” given the emergen- cy circumstances and “as the [agency] finds necessary or appropriate to protect the public health”—to impose “[a]ppropriate” conditions on each EUA. FDCA § 564(e)(1)(A). Some of these conditions are designed to ensure that recipients of the product “are informed” of certain things, including “the option to accept or refuse administration of the product.” Id. § 564(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III). Since December 2020, FDA has granted EUAs for three vaccines to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”). In each of these author- izations, FDA imposed the “option to accept or refuse” condition by requiring the distribution to potential vaccine recipients of a Fact Sheet that states: “It is your choice to receive or not receive [the vaccine].
