An independent group of vaccine experts has analyzed data from the Coverna-19 vaccine from Moderna and will make public its recommendations on the use of the vaccine next Tuesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday.
In a media briefing on next week, WHO said on Friday evening: “The Strategic Expert Advisory Group (SAGE) on immunization will make public its interim recommendations to WHO on the use of the Modern COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA-1273) were agreed at the extraordinary SAGE meeting, which took place on 21 January (Thursday). “
Mariangela Simao, WHO’s deputy director-general for access to medicines, vaccines and pharmaceuticals, speaking at a WHO social media event on Wednesday, said SAGE experts issued recommendations for the use of the Pfizer vaccine in early January. “He’s already meeting for another vaccine soon enough,” Simao said.
