SciShow: The Truth About COVID Vaccines and Emergency Use Authorizations

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: The news of several promising COVID-19 vaccines over the past few weeks has been very exciting, but so far, none have received emergency authorization for general use in the US. We'll talk about what that means, and also, why these vaccines are unlike any you've gotten before! Grab your subscription to the Awesome Socks Club before December 11! Go to https://awesomesocks.club/ to learn more! You can be a part of these FDA reviews! The public comment period for these vaccines is open until 1 day before the review meeting.
