Expert panel votes FDA SHOULD give Moderna s COVID-19 vaccine emergency approval amid hopes the U.S will soon have a second shot to help get 20 million Americans vaccinated by the end of 2020
A panel of FDA experts voted that the agency should approve Moderna s coronavirus vaccine and recommend whether the shot should be approved
With their endorsement, Moderna s shot will almost certainly get emergency approval tonight or tomorrow
Two people in Moderna s trial had severe allergic reactions: one who got a placebo, and a vaccine recipient who had anaphylactic shock 63 days later
Moderna determined neither were linked to the shot, and allergic reactions are generally immediate, not months later
