Drug Agency (FDA, for its acronym in English) has planned to

give full approval to the vaccine against the

coronavirus

of

Pfizer

on Monday, reports the

New York Times

.

Regulators aimed to complete the process by Friday, but were still working on

"a substantial amount of paperwork and negotiations with the company,"

the New York newspaper says, citing sources close to the FDA.

Although unofficial, the agency has set a deadline for approval on September 6. The authorization could

boost the vaccination campaign

by convincing more unvaccinated Americans that

Pfizer's

vaccine

is safe and effective and also make local authorities more comfortable putting

mandatory vaccination measures

in place

. As soon as the Pfizer vaccine is licensed, the

US

Army is expected

to require all servicemen to get vaccinated. Other large companies could also follow these steps.

Last December, Pfizer's vaccine was approved in the US for

emergency use

and more than 203 million people have received it to date in the US.

None of the three coronavirus vaccines licensed in the US (Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen) have received full FDA clearance.

Reluctance and third dose

Vaccine doubts have been

the biggest impediment

to the White House getting all American candidates vaccinated against the virus.

Only about

60% of adults have the full schedule

of the vaccine, while the Delta variant is contributing to an increase in cases.

The FDA has approved a third injection of Pfizer for people with weakened immune systems, although the White House plans to offer this third dose to more people in the coming months.

Earlier this week, the White House said it planned to give 100 new doses to at-risk Americans, including all those Americans whose initial dose was administered more than eight months ago.

Some experts, including the WHO, say

there is no scientific evidence

yet

on these extra doses.
