“#Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine app<\/a>roved by FDA<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Moderna\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine was granted approval by the Food and Drug Administration on Friday night \u2014 yet another glimmer of hope as infections continue to ravage the country.<\/p>\n

The vaccine is now the second to get the OK for use in the US behind Pfizer-BioNTech, whose shot was approved on Dec. 11.<\/p>\n

Moderna\u2019s vaccine has been approved for use in people aged 18 and older.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the FDA said Moderna\u2019s vaccine was shown to be 94 percent effective in a 30,000-person clinical trial and did not pose any major safety problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the availability of two vaccines now for the prevention of COVID-19, the FDA has taken another crucial step in the fight against this global pandemic that is causing vast numbers of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States each day,\u201d FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn, M.D. said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the FDA\u2019s open and transparent scientific review process, two COVID-19 vaccines have been authorized in an expedited timeframe while adhering to the rigorous standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality needed to support emergency use authorization that the American people have come to expect from the FDA,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese standards and our review process, which are the same we have used in reviewing the first COVID-19 vaccine and intend to use for any other COVID-19 vaccines, included input from independent scientific and public health experts as well as a thorough analysis of the data by the agency\u2019s career staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agency\u2019s advisory board voted unanimously to recommend its approval following an all-day hearing Thursday.<\/p>\n

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said 5.9 million doses of Moderna\u2019s vaccine will be shipped out to states next week. <\/p>\n

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation\u2019s top infectious disease expert, said inoculations could be administered as soon as Monday or Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Massachusetts-based biotechnology<\/a> company\u2019s shot is administered in two doses 28 days apart. Pfizer is also a two-dose shot, given 21 days apart.<\/p>\n

Both shots use so-called messenger mRNA, genetic material that spurs an immune response to coronavirus by directed the body to create a tiny amount of coronavirus spike proteins.<\/p>\n

The green light for Moderna comes after the US shattered daily records for new cases, deaths and hospitalizations on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Coronavirus infections are surging in the US, where 17 million cases and 311,000 deaths have been recorded since the start of the pandemic, according to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University.<\/p>\n

More than 75 million infections and 1.6 million deaths have been recorded worldwide.<\/p>\n

Other vaccines \u2014 including from Novavax, Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca \u2014 are in Phase 3 clinical trials.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
