THE Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory panel has green lighted Pfizer’s coronavirus treatment on Thursday, a major milestone in fighting the global pandemic.
The federal advisory panel, which is composed of infectious disease doctors and scientific experts, voted in favor of emergency authorization for Americans 16 and older.
The FDA is expected to ok an emergency use authorization on Saturday, people familiar with the agency’s planning told The New York Times.
An initial shipment of 6.4 million doses will be sent out within 24 hours of FDA’s clearance, officials said.
About half of those doses will be sent across the country, while the other half will be reserved for the first recipients to get their second dose roughly three weeks later.
