U.K. Medical Official: Other Regulators Not Far Behind U.K. on Pfizer Vaccine

England’s deputy chief medical officer said medicine regulators in other countries, especially those in the United States, were not far behind the decision of Britain’s regulators to authorize Pfizer Inc’s COVID-19 vaccine.

“I actually don’t expect other regulators, particularly the U.S. regulator, to be very far behind with this vaccine,” Jonathan Van-Tam told the BBC on Thursday.

“I think this will be solved in a matter of days, in the sense that I think that the regulators are very close behind.”
