Read our privacy policy Pfizer said on Friday it would likely submit its Covid-19 vaccine to the Food and Drug Administration for emergency authorisation in November - but after the election. This means there would be no chance the vaccine would receive emergency authorisation before the election on 3 November – what President Donald Trump has pushed for in recent months. "Let me be clear, assuming positive data, Pfizer will apply for Emergency Authorization Use in the US soon after the safety milestone is achieved in the third week of November," Mr Bourla wrote. “All the data contained in our US application would be reviewed not only by the FDA’s own scientists but also by an external panel of independent experts at a publicly held meeting convened by the agency.” Involving an independent commission of experts to review the data could be in an effort to quell any concerns that politics would playing a part in if the vaccine would receive the authorisation or not.
