AZ/Oxford US trial data likely to see AZ file for emergency use approval (EUA)

US

Headlines suggest that the trial data for the AZ/Oxford vaccine in the US has seen 79% of Covid-19 cases prevented with no one who contracted Covid-19 who had taken the vaccine admitted to hospital.

  • Remember that AZ was awaiting a large enough "local" trial in the US in order to seek emergency use approval (EUA) of the vaccine in the US.
  • To receive EUA, AZ must now file a request with the FDA.
  • For the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, a request was filed on 20 November with EUA granted on December 11 (3 week later).
  • For the Moderna vaccine a request was filed on 30 November with EUA granted on 18 December (so one working day less than 3 weeks).
