The Pfizer/BioNTech #COVID19 vaccine today became the first vaccine to receive WHO validation for emergency use since the outbreak began.

Equitable global access to vaccines is crucial to combat the pandemic.

Regulatory experts from around the 🌐 reviewed the data on the Pfizer/BioNTech #COVID19 vaccine’s safety, efficacy & quality. They found that the vaccine met the must-have criteria for safety & efficacy & that the benefits of using it to address the disease offset potential risks Image
The WHO Emergency Use Listing (EUL) allows countries to expedite their own regulatory approval processes to import & administer the #COVID19 vaccine. It also enables @UNICEF to procure the vaccine for distribution to countries in need.
