Moderna vaccine set for WHO emergency listing review

(Sharecast News) - Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine will be reviewed on 30 April by technical experts for possible WHO emergency-use listing, a World Health Organization spokesman told Reuters on Monday.
"We are discussing the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine on Friday [...]," WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier said.

He added that a decision on the US drugmaker's vaccine was expected in one to four days after that.

Covid-19 vaccines made by Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson had already gotten the 'green light' from the WHO, which constituted a signal to national regulatory authorities on a product's safety and efficacy.

On Monday, WHO experts were reviewing Chinese Covid-19 jab from drugmaker Sinopharm with a review of Sinovac's shot scheduled for 3 May.
