The corona vaccine from American biotech company Moderna is about to receive emergency approval in the US On Thursday, an FDA advisory group approved the approval. Based on the information available so far, the benefits of use for people over 18 years of age outweigh the risks, 20 experts said in a video conference Thursday.
This means that the second corona vaccine should be approved in the United States in the next few days and used starting next week. It would be the world’s first approval of the Moderna complex. With the Pfizer and Biontech vaccine, which was approved by the FDA last week, particularly vulnerable people have been vaccinated since Monday.
The EU aims for vaccination to start on December 27. Next Monday, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) will issue its recommendation for the approval of the Biontech and Pfizer vaccine. If this turns out to be positive, the EU Commission wants to make a quick decision on market approval in two days. The EMA has scheduled a special meeting on January 6 to assess Moderna’s readiness.
