The European Medicines Agency authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Monday, paving the way for a possible start of vaccinations in the European Union before the end of the year.
"I am delighted to announce that the AEM Scientific Committee has met today and supported a conditional marketing authorization in the EU for the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech" , AEM Executive Director Emer Cooke said during an online press conference.
The European medicines regulator also said there was "no evidence" to say that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine would not protect against a new strain of the coronavirus, found mainly in the UK.
