FDA Moves Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccine Closer to Authorization

HeadlineDec 09, 2020

Authorities say they will start distributing the vaccine within days of an emergency use authorization. This comes as some trial participants warn they experienced intense symptoms, including chills, headaches and fatigue, after the second shot, which needs to be administered about three weeks after the first dose.
