Abstract

Conducted a study of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) law and policy including interviews with FDA officials in the Center of Biologics Evaluation and Research and the Office of the General Counsel. Suggests that the new FDA drug review policies do not fit vaccines. Instead, the nature of vaccines, and HIV vaccines in particular, argues for adherence to a more rigorous form of review. (JLN)
