Pfizer and Bioentech, a leader in the development of the COVID-19 vaccine, have applied for emergency use of their vaccine to the US Food and Drug Administration and the FDA. Pfizer said it will begin implementation work as soon as it is approved for emergency use. This is a report from the Park Sang-nam reporter. Pfizer and Bioentech, which have jointly developed the COVID-19 vaccine, applied for emergency use approval from the US Food and Drug Administration and the FDA on Friday local time. This is the first time an application for emergency use has been submitted to the FDA amid global competition for the development of a COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer said it would begin distribution as soon as approval is received, expecting emergency use approvals to be issued by the middle of next month (December). The urgent use authorization is a temporary measure aimed at accelerating the use of necessary medicines in the event of a public health crisis. If FDA approval for emergency use is canceled, vaccines are expected to take priority in the order of medical workers, the elderly, and people with underlying diseases. Pfizer plans to prepare 50 million doses of the vaccine this year, which is enough for 25 million people. Previously, Pfizer said that the anti-infective effect of the vaccine reached 95%. It is known that Modena, an American pharmaceutical company, which has confirmed similar levels of infection prevention in clinical trials, will soon apply for emergency use approval from the FDA. With Pfizer and Moderna likely to receive FDA approval for the emergency use of Corona 19 vaccine this year, the spread of Corona 19 around the world is getting worse. However, as the vaccine is launched in earnest, expectations are mounting that it may soon end the global corona pandemic19. This is YTN Park Sang-nam.
