The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will decide on full approval of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine for those aged 16 and older no later than early next year.
Currently, the two-dose shot is only authorized for emergency use in Americans aged 12 and up.
However, the FDA granted Priority Review to Pfizer-BioNTech’s application, meaning all overall attention and resources are directed at reviewing data on the vaccine.
