“Maybe you have cancer and are going through chemotherapy that makes your immune system not work. Maybe you have an organ transplant, a liver transplant or a kidney transplant things along those lines,” explained Surber. “We give them a third shot to hopefully bring their immune system back up to par.”

 

Spokeswoman for the Department of Public Health, Pam Kirkland, says people with these conditions need more protection against the virus.

What is an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)?

An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Under an EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. Taking into consideration input from the FDA, manufacturers decide whether and when to submit an EUA request to FDA.

 

Once submitted, FDA will evaluate an EUA request and determine whether the relevant statutory criteria are met, taking into account the totality of the scientific evidence about the vaccine that is available to FDA.
