FDA Posts Early Positive Review of Pfizer Data

December 8, 2020 by Staff

by The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — U.S. health regulators say in their initial review that the vaccine from Pfizer is 95% protective against COVID-19.

The review posted online Tuesday by the Food and Drug Administration offers the world the first detailed look at the evidence behind the shot, which was co-developed with BioNTech.

The FDA review comes before a Thursday meeting where a panel of independent experts will scrutinize the data and vote on whether to recommend use of the vaccine. The vote isn’t binding but the FDA usually follows the group’s guidance. A U.S. decision to allow use of the vaccine is expected within days.

If given the green light, the first recipients would be health care workers and nursing home residents, according to plans laid out by each state.
