The U.S. Food and Drug Administration last night (Thursday) recommended issuing an emergency permit for the modern company's corona vaccine.
"Modern's vaccine is safe and effective, it is recommended that it be approved," the experts said in a statement.
If there are no surprises, the final confirmation will be received over the weekend.
FDA advisors have unanimously agreed that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks for those aged 18 and over.
A few days ago, the Director of Pharmaceuticals and Food confirmed the modern findings that the vaccine's efficacy rate stands at 94 percent after being tested on more than 30,000 people, an unprecedented figure for clinical trials.
Discussions on the vaccine approval are expected to take over a day, as before, an external committee of experts will convene and decide on the vaccine approval by vote, and only then will the heads of the organization make the decision to approve the vaccine.
Modern has no less than six million doses of vaccine, which are enough to vaccinate three million citizens, which were produced even before FDA approval, and are awaiting distribution in the United States.
The company still has an unknown number of vaccine doses intended for export to foreign countries, including Israel.
