The European Medicines Agency (EMA) will finally not pronounce this Monday around the Moderna vaccine, while the organization had suggested that it could validate it as of Monday, a decision accelerated compared to the date of Wednesday initially planned, due to the coronavirus emergency.

The Moderna vaccine is taken in two doses, a few weeks apart, like the Pfizer / Moderna vaccine.But Moderna's formula can be stored at -20 ° C, and not -70 ° C as for the remedy from Pfizer, which forced the group to develop specific containers for transport.

The American Medicines Agency (FDA) announced on December 18 that it had granted this American laboratory an emergency authorization, a week after having done the same with that of Pfizer and BioNTech.

The EMA headquarters moved from London to Amsterdam as a consequence of Brexit.
