The UK approved Pfizer and BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine, the first Western nation to give it the green light

The UK has become the first Western country to officially have a new coronavirus vaccine, the government announced Wednesday.

The approval means the UK drug regulator believes that Pfizer's vaccine protects against COVID-19 — the disease caused by the novel coronavirus — and is safe. It came after the agency reviewed all the vaccine's data including from a large, late-stage clinical trial of 43,661 volunteers.on November 23, after announcing earlier in the month that preliminary results indicated its vaccine was highly effective.

The regulatory approval in the UK marks a milestone for Pfizer and BioNTech but also for other drugmakers, like Moderna, that use the new mRNA technology too. It signals that similar vaccines could work safely and effectively.How the pharma giant Pfizer teamed up with a little-known biotech to develop an effective coronavirus vaccine in record time

The approval is significant, but it's just the start. To end the pandemic, an estimated 80% of the global population vaccine must be immunized.
