The American Pfizer and the German biotechnology company Bioentech have applied to the relevant US authorities for approval of the emergency use of the corona vaccine with an efficacy of 95%.
The BBC’s online report on Saturday said the decision to allow emergency use in the United States would be made by the country’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if the vaccine was effective.
While it is not yet clear how long it will take for the FDA to review the study data, the US government is optimistic about approving the vaccine’s emergency use in the first half of December.
Preliminary results from the final phase of testing showed that the potential Covid-19 vaccine, developed by Pfizer and Bioentech, was 95 percent effective in people over 65.
The UK has already signed an agreement with the two companies to purchase 40 million doses of the vaccine. The country’s state broadcaster, the BBC, has reported that it will receive 10 million doses of the vaccine by the end of the year.
The United States urgently needs a vaccine to prevent the coronavirus. Corona has claimed the lives of two and a half million people in the country and more than two thousand have died in the last day since June.
When will the vaccine start?
The two companies say that Pfizer and Bioentech are ready to deliver the vaccine within hours of approval if the FDA approves it within the first half of next month.
This will be significant in the history of vaccine development. Because the vaccine is approved within 10 months of receiving the genetic code. The average time for a vaccine to be approved in the United States is approximately eight years.
Pfizer Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Albert Borla said Thursday that the request for emergency use approval is a milestone for us around the world in terms of vaccine development.
How effective is this vaccine?
More detailed results are beginning to come out of the third phase of testing of the Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine. It shows that the vaccine works equally well for people of all ages, races, and ethnic groups.
The results of the vaccine, which were obtained after injecting two doses into the bodies of more than 41,000 people worldwide, were said last week to have no side effects.
The vaccine is based on mRNA technology. In this way, the immune system will be created in the human body by injecting the genetic code of the virus; That will take care of the corona infection.
