Harris Leads Letter Urging Acting HHS Secretary to Immediately Consider Revising COVID-19 Vaccine Authorizations Using the Latest Studies to Save Thousands of Lives

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) and fellow physician Members of Congress called upon the acting HHS Secretary to utilize his statutory authorities to consider immediately revising the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) based upon the growing body of scientific data and studies indicating that changes to vaccine administration regiments could save tens of thousands of lives.

Congressman Harris issued the following statement:

"When tens of thousands of lives are at stake, the Biden Administration must not drag its feet, get bogged down in bureaucracy, and ignore the latest real-world science. That is why I echo the sentiments of President Biden's former COVID-19 Advisory Board member, who called for an immediate review of all the data, including from abroad, in the CIDRAP report published this past week.

The U.S. should be leading in this effort to increase vaccine supply, but it is the United Kingdom, France, and others who are adjusting dosing regiments to expand supply and save lives. If the Biden Administration won't lead, maybe they will follow. Thousands of lives depend on it."

The scientific body of evidence continues to grow daily.
