Pfizer and BioNTech announced on Friday that they were submitting an emergency use authorization request to the FDA for its coronavirus vaccine. If it’s approved, which the companies believe will be by mid-December, when will it be ready to ship for distribution? However, Pfizer said that they have been able to successfully ship and distribute the experimental vaccine to over 150 clinical trial sites across the U.S., Europe, Latin America and South Africa. “Based on their collective experience, the companies believe in their capability to distribute the vaccine globally upon approval or authorization,” the press release said. “We are hopeful that results from this vaccine delivery pilot will serve as the model for other U.S. states and international governments, as they prepare to implement effective COVID—19 vaccine programs.”
