Covid Vaccine Approval & Medicals
 
Both the FAA and TC state that a Covid Vaccine will cancel our medicals.
Does anyone know what their position will be after the vaccines are given emergency approval?

B#lls&it.

While the FAA has not revealed its plans for use of the various vaccines, the agency might include general precautions about a short waiting time, such as between 24 hours and 72 hours, after taking the vaccine before flying to ensure there are no side effects.

The FAA has made up their mind:

Holders of FAA-issued Airman Medical Certificates or Medical Clearances may receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine; however, a 48-hour no fly/no safety related duty interval must be observed after each dose.
