The British government announced on the 2nd that it will be the first in the world to approve the emergency use of the Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine, and that 800,000 doses will be prepared next week, which can inoculate about 400,000 people.
However, it is noted that the British decision was hasty in Europe and the United States.
Anthony Pouch, America’s leading infectious disease expert, said in an interview with Fox News, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health. “He said,” The FDA’s way is right. “
“We are reviewing the data very carefully to make sure the American people are receiving safe and effective vaccines.”
The European Medicines Agency (EMA), the EU’s corona19 vaccine approval authority, also said on Day 2: “Our longest procedure for vaccine approval is based on more data and is subject to more reviews than the emergency approval chosen by the UK. It is appropriate.”
On the other hand, Professor Van Tam said that vaccination in the UK will give priority to nursing home residents and employees, followed by the elderly over 80 and those with underlying diseases.
The UK has also invested in seven other candidate vaccines, adding that these vaccines will arrive next spring.
However, he explained that vaccination for pregnant women and children is still premature. “There will be no problems with vaccination, but there is no clinical data on pregnant women and children, so we will prioritize safety,” he said.
Professor Van Tam first urged citizens belonging to the vaccination group to actively participate in vaccination and emphasized that “the withdrawal of containment measures according to the vaccination program depends on the cooperation of the people.”
As for the duration of the immunological effect of the Pfizer vaccine, Professor Van Tam said it was not yet known. “There is data showing that the Pfizer vaccine activates T cells and antibodies for a long period of time, but the exact duration is unknown,” he said. “The immunity will last at least several months.”
Pfizer Vaccine also said there are some transport restrictions, as it requires storage at -70 degrees Celsius.
