From VOA:
“US FDA Gives Full Approval to
Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine”
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration ((FDA)) Monday gave full approval to U.S. pharmaceutical company
Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, which will be marketed under the name Spikevax. The
vaccine has been widely distributed in the United States and around the world
under the FDA’s emergency use authorization since December of 2020. It is the
second COVID-19 vaccine the agency has fully approved, after Pfizer’s vaccine
received the designation in August of 2021. In a statement, acting FDA Commissioner Janet
Woodcock said full authorization of the vaccine is an important step in the
fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. She said that while hundreds of millions
of doses of the Moderna shot have been administered under the emergency use
authorization, she understands “for some individuals, FDA approval of this
vaccine may instill additional confidence in making the decision to get
vaccinated.” Woodcock said the public can be assured that the Moderna vaccine
“meets the FDA’s high standards for safety, effectiveness and manufacturing
quality required of any vaccine approved for use in the United States.” The
Moderna vaccine has been approved for use in more than 70 countries including
Britain, Canada, Japan and those in the European Union.
