A US GOVERNMENT advisory panel has endorsed Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine in a major step towards a massive vaccination campaign that could finally conquer the outbreak.
The Food and Drug Administration is expected to follow the recommendation issued today by its expert advisers.
The advisory group, in a 17-4 vote with one abstention, concluded that the vaccine appears safe and effective against the coronavirus in people aged 16 and older.
A final FDA decision is expected within days.
Millions of shots would then be shipped to begin vaccinating health care workers and nursing home residents.
