I've been involved in getting a medical product FDA approval before. It takes years. It took us ~5 years from finished product already in phase two clinical trials to approval. The bureaucracy in the system is so ridiculous I am fairly certain it was designed to keep us from advancing medicine.
For these vaccines, they are illegally EUA, so how likely is they could be approved tomorrow? Exactly as likely as whoever is running the show wants it to be. There is nothing standard about this.
