FDA Pulls Authorization for Original Pfizer and Moderna COVID Vaccines

  In a news release, the FDA explained the older vaccines no longer offer full protection from new strains of the virus.

The agency said it had amended the emergency use authorizations of the initial Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines in order to "Simplify the vaccination schedule for most individuals." "This action includes authorizing the current bivalent vaccines to be used for all doses administered to individuals 6 months of age and older, including for an additional dose or doses for certain populations," the FDA said.

"The monovalent Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines are no longer authorized for use in the United States" the FDA statement said.

The FDA said people who are not vaccinated but wish to be should receive a single dose of an updated vaccine, rather than two doses that were previously recommended with the original vaccines.

Immediately following the emergency authorization of the original vaccines, many major cities across the country mandated their use for activities - such as shopping or dining.

ABC News reported 1,780 New York City workers were fired for refusing the vaccines.
