LONDON (AP) – Regulators in the UK and four other countries have announced new rules to fast-track the development of modified COVID-19 vaccines to ensure drugmakers can move swiftly to target emerging variants of the disease.
Previously authorized vaccines that are modified to combat new variants “will not need a brand new approval or `lengthy’ clinical studies,” Britain’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency said Thursday.
“The clear goal is that future vaccine modifications that respond to the new variants of coronavirus can be made available in the shortest possible time to UK recipients without compromising at any stage on safety, quality or effectiveness,” Dr June Raine, the head of the agency, said in a briefing for reporters.

Ron Johnson had just seven minutes to ask key members of law enforcement questions about an attack on the U.S. Capitol that was unprecedented in modern American history.
It’s not much time, but it was the rule for rank-and-file lawmakers at the Feb. 23 joint hearing of the Senate’s homeland security and rules committees, where witnesses included the former chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, the acting police chief for Washington, D.C. and the former U.S. House and Senate sergeants at arms.
