FDA pushing to approve Pfizer-BioNTech’s two-dose Covid-19 vaccine on Monday...

Regulators were working to finish the process by Friday but were still working through a substantial amount of paperwork ....

The people familiar with the planning, who were not authorized to speak publicly about it, cautioned that the approval might slide beyond Monday if some components of the review need more time.

Good. It will make convincing some of the vaccine hesitant to take it much easier.

Of course, that also means mandating it will get some teeth.

The FDA is corrupt and this will be the final nail in the coffin for their reputation.

Regardless of any rushed administrative classification that the FDA affixes to this therapy treatment - it is not a vaccine - it is still experimental and that experiment has not been going very well at all.

It does not prevent infection. It is pointless. Theres thousands of people that have died from the vaccine. That alone should stop it from being approved. I am guessing the FDA has some politicized individuals working there.

The approval is expected to pave the way for a series of vaccination requirements by public and private organizations who were awaiting firmer regulatory backing before implementing mandates.
...
Some universities and hospitals are expected to mandate inoculation once a vaccine is fully approved.

No, the goalposts will be moved right after approval.
