security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad, FDA may issue an
EUA for a COVID-19 vaccine after determining that certain statutory requirements are met.

Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) request to FDA for an investigational COVID-19 vaccine
(BNT162b2) intended to prevent COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The vaccine is based on the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (S)
antigen encoded by RNA and formulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)."
