- On Friday, CNN reported the U.S. Food and Drug Administration intends to add a black box warning on COVID-19 vaccines, led by Dr. Vinay Prasad, FDA chief medical and scientific officer and CBER director.

- Manufacturers and regulators note that, after more than 1 billion doses distributed, monitoring shows no new safety concerns in children or pregnant people, and benefits outweigh risks.
