Every time you comment here you display a marked ignorance. Paracetomol is "still in trials". So is the contraceptive pill.Which vaccine? There are now several approved vaccines.Take just one, Cominarty (Pfizer/Biontech). There are several versions now.What do you mean by "in trials"? Many trials have been conducted with the various vaccines, often with different sub-sets of the population. Some are still in progress. New trials are almost always being conducted with drugs which have already been authorised for use in humans.The phrase "still in trials" is meaningless in this context.What we really want to know is have the appropriate authorities approved a vaccine for use having determined it to be safe and effective.There are a multiplicity of "appropriate authorities" - the precise status of each vaccine and each vaccine variant can be subtly different in the the UK, EU, USA, Switzerland, Australia etc etc, as each area has its own drug licensing regime.Cominarty (the earliest version) is fully approved by the FDA, has a (conditional) marketing authorisation in the EU and UK. The phrase "emergency use authorisation" is more commonly used in the USA. Covid vaccines started out there with an EUA, they are now fully approved.(Also, you seem to want to twist the meaning of "EUA" as if the drug which is the subject of an EUA is somehow experimental or untested. This is not the case).At the end of it all, any Covid vaccine your GP in the UK offers you will have been approved for use by the MHRA and recommended for use by the JCVI.
