Pfizer comments in the press conference : The UK government’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued a temporary authorization for emergency use of our #COVID19 vaccine with BioNTech, marking the first emergency authorization of a #vaccine to help fight the pandemic following a worldwide trial.
We recognize that with hundreds of thousands of people becoming infected, every day, every hour, every minute matters. As we anticipate further regulatory agency reviews globally, we are focused on moving with the same level of urgency to safely distribute vaccine doses around the world, if we receive authorization or approval.
While our work is not done, this authorization is a goal we have been working toward since we first declared that #ScienceWillWin. Read more about this historic milestone in the fight against this dreaded disease:
