Biontech and Pfizer have filed an authorization request with the United States Medicines Agency (FDA) to market the anticovid vaccine.
The Dpa writes, citing a statement from the two groups.
Meanwhile, the EMA by the mouth of Guido Rasi, former executive director of the European Medicines Agency, makes it known that "Over the course of 2021
we will have 6 or 7 vaccines
and I am reasonably optimistic that by the end of January we will already have 3 with the authorization and ready to be released. The ball will then pass to local structures and member states so as not to nullify the fast run that has been made ".
He said this during the webinar 'The European Union facing the challenge of Covid-19, organized by the Office in Italy of the European Parliament'.
Vaccines against Covid "will have the same safety as all vaccines approved since the EMA has existed," said Guido Rasi, former executive director of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), during the webinar 'The Union European Union to the challenge of Covid-19.
"The quality of the measles vaccine and those against Covid - he specified - is analyzed with the same method, the same people and the same means. There is no different security. If we found data that make the acceleration suspicious it would block, as we have already seen with the two stops in recent months ".
