EU regulators recommend Pfizer/BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine for authorization
(CNN) The European Union drugs regulator has recommended authorizing the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for use, paving the way for the first phase of the bloc’s mass vaccination program to begin later this week.
FEED THE POOR
Feeding the poor and needy is an act that draws us closer to Allah. We earn His forgiveness, mercies and blessings through this act of charity.
“Anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah?s cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night. (Bukhari)
In a closed-door meeting in Amsterdam on Monday, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) granted the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine a conditional marketing authorization, green lighting the drug for distribution.
Before the 27-nation bloc can begin its rollout, the European Commission must give its final approval, which European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen would likely happen later on Monday.
“It’s a decisive moment in our efforts to deliver safe & effective vaccines to Europeans,” von der Leyen tweeted. “Now we will act fast. I expect a decision by this evening,” she said.
