The covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech is one big step closer to the public. A group of outside experts assembled by the FDA largely voted to recommend the vaccine. The vaccine was recommended for emergency use in people ages 16 and older. The over eight-hour advisory committee meeting featured presentations and discussions. However, several members said they were uncomfortable recommending its use to people ages 16-17. The limited data available right now, according to Gizmodo.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo thinks one vaccine could receive FDA emergency authorization. Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine is the one he was alluding to on Thursday. An independent advisory panel will vote on whether to recommend an emergency use authorization. Several top health officials have said they expect the vaccine to get authorized on Thursday. However, at least one FDA official has said the process could take up to a week after the panel's vote.
