Federal regulators have revoked emergency authorization for COVID-19 vaccines, according to documents made public on Aug. 27.

The Food and Drug Administration withdrew the emergency authorizations for vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Novavax.

Dr. Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s top vaccine official, said in memorandums that the withdrawals were happening in part due to the FDA recently extending approval for Moderna’s vaccine to individuals as young as six months of age who were targeted by the emergency authorizations.

Combined, the actions mean that FDA clearance is no longer in place for an estimated 240 million Americans, although doctors could still provide the vaccines off-label to those people.

The revocations come several months after the CDC changed its COVID-19 recommendations. The updated schedules no longer recommend COVID-19 vaccination for healthy children and pregnant women.
