On the 2nd (local time), US Minister of Health and Welfare, Alix Aza, said that the UK government’s approval of the world’s first emergency use of the COVID-19 vaccine “will greatly breed the US people. “.

According to Reuters and others on the day, Minister Aza said in an interview with Fox Business Network that the UK approved the use of the Corona 19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and German Bioentech: “It will be very reassuring for the American people.” Independent regulators may also find that this vaccine is safe and effective to use. “

On the same day, the UK Department of Health announced that it had approved the use of the vaccine by accepting the recommendation from the Pharmaceutical and Health Products Regulatory Authority (MHRA) to approve the use of Pfizer and Bioentech’s COVID-19 vaccine. After several months of clinical studies and information analysis, it was concluded that the Corona 19 vaccine met standards in terms of safety and efficacy. With this, the UK became the first country in the world to approve the emergency use of the COVID-19 vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and Bioentech.

Pfizer and BioEntech filed an emergency application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on November 20 and are awaiting the results. The FDA will decide whether to approve emergency use through the Vaccine and Biological Drugs Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) on 10.
