Britain could approve a joint coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech in a few days. Government officials said delivery of the vaccines could begin hours after approval and the first vaccines would be delivered on December 7. The UK has ordered 40 million doses of the drug, which has been tested to prevent infection with 95 percent efficacy.
Typically, in the UK, vaccines must be approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), at least until December 31, when the Brexit process is complete. However, in urgent cases, the MHRA, the UK Office of Medicines and Health Products Control, may temporarily authorize the use of the vaccine.
On Friday, the government asked the government office to also investigate a vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford.
Administration of BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine will require careful care, should be kept at -70 degrees, and should be refrigerated for up to 5 days prior to inoculation. Nursing home residents would be vaccinated first, followed by those over 80 and healthcare workers.
