The United States authorizes the use of Pfizer vaccine against "Corona"
The United States gave its approval to use the "Pfizer-Biontech" vaccine to combat the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic, paving the way for the start of a large-scale vaccination campaign across the country, while outgoing President Donald Trump promised that the first dose would be within less than 24 hours .
Under pressure from Trump to speed up the granting of an emergency permit, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it had given its approval to use the vaccine.
Thus, the United States becomes the sixth country to give its approval to the vaccine, after Britain, Canada, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
The European Medicines Agency is supposed to give its approval by the end of December.
The outgoing President Donald Trump welcomed this news and said on Twitter: "Today our country achieved a medical miracle. We have already started sending the vaccine to all states of the country," noting that the first vaccinations will take place in less than 24 hours.
Trump made it clear that state governors will decide where the vaccines should go in their states and who will receive them first, and he added, "We want our older citizens and caregivers and first aid to be the first to receive them."
