The vaccines are the most important change. They have so far proved very effective against Covid-19, including against its Delta strain. People who have been fully vaccinated are much less likely to come down with it, and much less likely to have severe symptoms if they do. If a full approval from the Food and Drug Administration for the vaccines will encourage more people to get the shots, it should by all means be expedited

If a full approval from the Food and Drug Administration for the vaccines will encourage more people to get the shots, it should by all means be expedited.
