When is the US corona vaccine approved? … First Approval Expected Mid-Month (Full): Dong-A Science

Pence, Notice Week 3 of December … FDA “Expects Approval Within 7 Days After Going Through Advisory Board”

With the UK approving for the first time in the world the urgent use of a new vaccine against coronavirus infection (Corona 19), attention is being drawn as the US approves the use of the vaccine.

Vice President Mike Pence, head of the White House Coronavirus Response Task Force (TF), announced that the vaccine would be approved in the third week of December, the Washington Post reported.

Vice President Pence said in a meeting with staff from the Georgia Emergency Operations Center at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the same day that “the corona vaccine will be approved in about a week and a half.”

Vice President Pence said: “The government wants to reaffirm that there has been no compromise in terms of the safety and efficacy of the vaccine,” he said again, confirming the policy to administer the vaccine first to 20 million Americans this year .

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also released a schedule similar to that announced by Vice President Pence regarding the timing of the vaccine’s approval, the CNN broadcast said.

The approval of the Corona vaccine in the United States proceeds in a procedure in which the ‘Vaccine and Biological Drugs Advisory Committee’ (VRBPAC), an expert advisory body to the FDA, first confirms a recommendation and then the FDA approves its use.

The Advisory Committee will hold a meeting on the 10th to make recommendations for the urgent use of Pfizer vaccines and on the 17th will discuss ways to approve the modder or vaccines.

Following this, the FDA plans to approve the use of Pfizer and Modena vaccines within a week, respectively, after the advisory committee meetings are over on the 10th and 17th.

“It depends on the results of the advisory committee discussions,” said Peter Marks, head of the FDA’s Center for Biological Evaluation and Research, in an online seminar hosted by the American Medical Association. “We expect the vaccine to be approved within a week if all goes well after the meeting.”

Therefore, the Pfizer vaccine is expected to be vaccinated in the third week of December, and the Modena vaccine could be vaccinated if the FDA plan proceeds due to the lack of permission to use it in the third week of December.

“We are fortunate that Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are over 95 percent effective,” Marks said. “We have to go through the FDA review, but we’re glad these vaccines are very good.”

“Because the corona crisis is incredibly aggravating, the likelihood of the corona vaccine being approved for emergency use has become more apparent,” he said.
