Pfizer comunicó a la agencia regulatoria brasileña (ANVISA) resultados sobre los test de su vacuna contra el nuevo coronavirus, paso necesario para solicitar el registro del inmunizante, informó este miércoles la farmacéutica estadounidense.

'Este es un paso importante para que el inmunizante esté disponible en Brasil', dijo la firma en un comunicado.

El estudio clínico de la fase 3 de la vacuna BNT162b2, desarrollada por Pfizer y el laboratorio alemán BioNTech, comenzó en julio e incluyó a 43.661 participantes en 150 localizaciones. En Brasil, colaboraron 2.900 voluntarios, según datos difundidos por los fabricantes.
