EU sets deadlines for registration of coronavirus vaccines

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has outlined the deadlines for registration of vaccines against coronavirus in the European Union. TASS reports.

During a press conference, she said that the new type of coronavirus vaccines created by BioNTech and Moderna could be registered in Europe in the second half of December.

Earlier, manufacturers of the domestic vaccine against the Sputnik V coronavirus applied for certification to the World Health Organization (WHO). So far, the organization has not spoken out in favor of any vaccine against COVID-19, because the drugs must go through an assessment system first in their country, then internationally.
