Faster than the EU and US agencies, the UK Medicines Agency approved the use of Biontech and Pfizer’s corona vaccine for adults in an emergency procedure. The first British should receive the vaccine next week.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson described the approval of the vaccine as “fantastic.”
So far, Britain has made mostly negative headlines in the Crown crisis, with the highest death toll in Europe and the worst economic crisis in major industrial nations. Now, however, the UK is becoming the first Western country to approve a corona vaccine for use by the population, which means that the authorities may start immunizing the population next week. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced Wednesday morning that the vaccine from Mainz-based pharmaceutical company Biontech and its US partner Pfizer could receive emergency approval. Therefore, the authority classifies it as safe to market the vaccine for adults. According to data from the company’s crucial clinical study, the risk of contracting Covid-19 was more than 90 percent lower for vaccinated study participants than for those without vaccination.
