As we reported earlier, the World Health Organization has listed Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use.
This is the first time that a Covid-19 vaccine has been added to the WHO list.
The WHO's review found Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine met the "must-have" criteria for safety and efficacy benefits outweigh its risks.
"Regulatory experts convened by WHO from around the world and WHO’s own teams reviewed the data on the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine’s safety, efficacy and quality as part of a risk-versus-benefit analysis. The review found that the vaccine met the must-have criteria for safety and efficacy set out by WHO, and that the benefits of using the vaccine to address Covid-19 offset potential risks," the WHO informs.
