Effective August 27, 2025, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revoked the Emergency Use Authorizations for the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines that were implemented beginning in late 2020. The Emergency Use Authorizations, which were implemented during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, made the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines easily accessible for nearly all Americans by allowing access to the vaccines without a prescription.

As a result of the revocation of the Emergency Use Authorization, individuals under the age of 65 without a preexisting condition may be required to obtain a valid prescription in order to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.
