Food and Drug Administration Oversight: Origins and Contribution to the National Covid Response
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been a key actor in the USA’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The extensive use of Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) during the pandemic as part of its broader strategy to protect the health of the country has raised this federal agency to the public psyche. The FDA’s response has been guided by its position within the national governing framework as well as its own unique history. A review of this framework and the FDA’s history can be illuminating in understanding this agency’s response during a national crisis.
