Aug 23, 20211:23Now PlayingThe Covid-19 vaccine made by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE was granted a full approval by U.S. regulators, a milestone expected to help bolster the immunization drive amid a renewed surge in infections.
The Food and Drug Administration said in a statement on Monday that it had cleared the shot for the prevention of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus in people 16 and older. It will be marketed under the name Comirnaty.
The approval is the first for a Covid vaccine in the U.S., and it arrives at a crucial time, as the country is ensnared in a wave of illness sparked by the highly transmissible delta variant. The Biden administration has made increasing vaccinations a priority in its efforts to tamp down the latest outbreak, and hopes the approval will increase confidence in the shot among people who say they are wary of its rapid-fire development.
