Washington. El grupo farmacéutico estadounidense Pfizer y su socio alemán BioNTech presentaron este viernes ante la agencia estadounidense de medicamentos (FDA) una solicitud de autorización para la comercialización de su vacuna contra la covid-19, convirtiéndose en los primeros fabricantes en hacerlo en Estados Unidos o Europa.

El anuncio era esperado desde hace varios días, tras la publicación de los resultados del ensayo clínico en marcha desde julio con 44.000 voluntarios en varios países y según los cuales la vacuna tendría una eficacia del 95%, sin efectos secundarios graves.
