The country of Pasteur finally has its own vaccine against Covid-19.
The European Medicines Agency announced on Thursday the marketing authorization for the VidPrevtyn vaccine, produced by the French company Sanofi.
This authorization only concerns booster doses “in adults previously vaccinated with an mRNA or adenoviral vector vaccine against Covid-19”, specifies the EMA in a press release.
“Sufficiently robust data on the quality, safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine are now available to recommend its marketing authorization in the EU,” writes the European health agency in its press release, also noting a more high effectiveness of the booster dose against the Omicron variant of Covid-19 for the Sanofi vaccine than that of Pfizer.
