President Donald Trump today revealed that the United States has approved a second coronavirus vaccine, although responsible regulators have not yet given a formal decision.
Based on a post on his twitter page, he submitted a statement that the Moderna vaccine has been approved and its distribution will start immediately.
It was prompted by an expert panel proposal yesterday to grant emergency use approval for the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine in the United States.
However, the Food and Drug Administration is expected to issue an official decision soon.
Meanwhile, the approval will make the Moderna vaccine the second vaccine to be approved in Western countries after the vaccine developed by Pfizer-BioNTech.
In addition, Trump's announcement came as US Vice President Mike Pence and his wife received a live Covid-19 vaccine injection on television, in a public display designed to raise national awareness of the action.
In addition, the announcement was also announced when the total number of deaths due to Covid-19 has approached 310,000 victims in the country. In addition, this week the country began vaccinating healthcare workers and residents using the Pfizer vaccine.
For everyone's knowledge, both vaccines are equipped with advanced mRNA technology (messenger ribonucleic acid), and need to be taken in 2 injections.
Not only that! The U.S., which recorded more than 17 million cases of Covid-19 infection, may be the first country to approve the Moderna vaccine.
