چکیده
What Do the Swine Flu EUAs Mean for the Current Outbreak? On April 27, 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for the swine flu outbreak in response to requests by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). [1] One of the reasons the EUAs could be issued was because the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared a public health emergency on April 26, 2009. [2] The EUAs will soon be published in The Federal Register.
