In an interview with Reuters, Biontech CEO Ogor Shahin said that if all goes well, the US FDA may grant approval by mid-December.
"It depends on the requests we receive and whether all the conditions are met," the CEO said. Earlier on Wednesday, Pfizer and Biontech unveiled updated results for the third phase of the vaccine trial.
According to these results, the vaccine effectiveness stands at 95%.
The vaccine also showed efficacy among a variety of age groups and no significant side effects appeared.
