Pfizer Inc (PFE) said Friday that it will apply for emergency authorization use of its COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S. in the third week of November, once safety milestone is achieved.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration wants at least two months of safety data before authorizing emergency use of any experimental coronavirus vaccine.
Pfizer, which is developing vaccine candidate BNT162b2 with German BioNTech SE (BNTX), said it will continue running its trial through its final analysis point, even if it is declared effective at an earlier stage. The company expects to reach safety milestone in the third week of November.
