The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Monday granted full approval to Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine, giving an additional vote of confidence in its safety and effectiveness.
The full approval for people ages 18 and older was based on follow-up data showing "high efficacy and favorable safety approximately six months after the second dose."
The vaccine had already been available since December 2020 under an emergency use authorization, but full approval provides an extra emphasis.

I hope this development encourages some of you still on the fence to proceed with getting the vaccine. I know I've heard more than a few people say they wouldn't consider getting the vaccine until it had full approval.

Don't we have enough evidence yet that vaccines and masks do not and have not stopped the spread of COVID or it's offspring?
The latest case, along with two previous ones, were traced to a batch of Moderna vaccines found to have been contaminated. Other deaths under similar circumstances have occurred too.
Moderna is working with Japanese health officials to recall three batches of COVID-19 vaccine after an investigation found stainless steel contaminants in some vials.
In the latest death, the man was vaccinated before the ministry suspended the use of a particular batch of vaccines produced in the same manufacturing line at a factory in Spain.
Authorities have not yet determined if the vaccination caused the man's death. They will investigate the case as well as those of two others confirmed dead last month.
The 49-year-old man was allergic to soba noodles. He was inoculated for a second time on Aug. 11 and found dead the following morning.
The vaccine lot number of his second vaccination was “3004734,” which should have been withdrawn.
Japan suspended the use of about 1.63 million doses of the Moderna vaccine on August 26 as a precaution after foreign substances were found in some vials.
While inquiries are being conducted by the Japanese government and three pharmaceutical companies involved, no police investigation has been announced and there is no present indication of wrongdoing.
There you have it. Based on extensive research, the FDA has seen enough evidence to conclude that Moderna's vaccine is safe and effective. As a result it now has full approval to be administered to anyone over the age of 18 and is no longer just relying on an EUA.

It will never have MY full approval until I can read every single piece of data and there are at least ten years of data for me to peruse.
