COVID-19: Moderna vaccine under FDA review
By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter
Taiwan is reviewing an emergency use authorization application by Moderna Inc for its COVID-19 vaccine, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) said yesterday.
The center had secured 5.05 million doses of the Moderna vaccine.
However, as Moderna does not have a branch in Taiwan, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has forwarded the documents provided by the company and applied to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an emergency use authorization, said CDC Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥), who is the CECC’s spokesman.
A vial of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is displayed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Feb. 19.
