THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION SAYS ITS CHANGING HOW VACCINES ARE APPROVED. O-N-N'S SOPHIA PERRICONE (PAIR UH CONE EE) SAYS THE MOVE COMES AFTER INTERNAL AGENCY OFFICIALS SAY THE COVID-19 VACCINE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEATHS OF AT LEAST 10 CHILDREN.

THE MEMO REPORTEDLY REVIEWED 96 CHILD DEATHS -- 10 OF THOSE WERE APPARENTLY LINKED TO VACCINATION. HOWEVER -- THE MEMO DIDN'T SHARE HOW THOSE DETERMINATIONS WERE MADE. F-D-A OFFICIALS SAY FUTURE VACCINES WILL REQUIRE MORE EVIDENCE OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS BEFORE THEY REACH THE MARKET. THE AGENCY HAS YET TO RELEASE HOW THE APPROVAL PROCESS WILL CHANGE OR WHEN THOSE CHANGES WILL GO INTO PLACE.
