JUST IN—FDA advisory committee votes:

YES: 17
NO: 4
ABSTAIN: 1

“Based on totality of scientific evidence available, do benefits of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine outweigh its risks for use in individuals 16 & older?”

📌‘No’ votes seem to be for lack of age 16-17 data. #COVID19

The entire world is looking toward scientists to get rid of COVID-19 pandemic.

Several members of the committee expressed concern over reports of allergic reactions in two vaccinated people in the UK, who authorized Pfizer to provide the vaccine before the United States. The BioNTech/Pfizer shots and another being created by the US firm Moderna have started to lead the pack in the worldwide pursue an immunization.

The United States’ Food and Drug Administration said its vaccine committee would meet to discuss a request for urgent use on December 10.

EU’s Commission president Ursula von der Leyen stated that European bloc could affirm both companies’ vaccines before this year’s end.

Moreover, he could not predict how long the review would take, but the federal government said earlier the final green light would probably come in December.

Coronavirus Infections Going Stranger

World deaths reached nearly 1.4 million and infected people around 57 million. However, numerous cases go undetected. Also, the most recent wave of the pandemic is hitting numerous areas harder than previous that effected the globe after the coronavirus arose in the Wuhan in 2019. India’s coronavirus patients reached 9 million, second in the world.

India’s some graveyards are running out of the room. New Delhi gravedigger Muhammad Shamim stated that initially, he thought he would cover 100-200 dead bodies. However, the current condition is beyond his most stunning thoughts.

Also, Mexico turned into the fourth nation over the globe to see its death toll reaching 100,000. Almost 2.5 lac deaths have been confirmed in the US since the pandemic started, with 1,800 enlisted on Friday.

James Hildreth, CEO Meharry College and a non-permanent voting member of the committee disclosed CNN; he just feels the need for the vaccine and accounts for its benefits and risks.

Recommendations to Coronavirus vaccine

FDA staff views that paperwork will help Pfizer vaccine to warn against using it to anyone with a medical history of allergic reactions to vaccines or to any of its ingredients.

Pregnant women have been excluded from trials of the coronavirus vaccine. However, limited FDA data shows that there is no particular risk to pregnant women or fetuses. Fink stated that the agency expects results from a developmental and reproductive study of animals later this month to clarify the risks. However, the agency will allow pregnant women and their doctors to decide to get the vaccine or not.

One option for Pfizer and BioNtech is that health experts hope there will be more vaccines to cross the finish line. There is a Moderna‘s vaccine after consideration. The FDA will release its assessment of the vaccine on Tuesday, and the advisory committee will review it on December 17. If properly diagnosed, the FDA may approve the vaccine within a few days.

Between the two vaccines, government officials project 40 million doses by the end of the year. These doses will be enough to fully vaccinate two million people.

President-elect Joe Biden stepped in being grateful to the scientists and researchers who developed this vaccine. Furthermore, he also thanks the scientists and public health experts who measured the safety and efficacy rate of this vaccine free from the political will.
