A dozen former FDA commissioners decry Prasad memo on vaccine regulation
Changes to the ways in which the Food and Drug Administration plans to regulate vaccines represent a threat to effective and available vaccines and public health, 12 former commissioners wrote Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The changes, as described in a leaked memo by Vinay Prasad, the agency’s top regulator of vaccines, “will upend core policies governing vaccine development and updates,” the former commissioners wrote in the piece, a striking show of unanimity among those who have served in both Republican and Democratic administrations.
