EU Regulator approves Pfizer vaccine for member states
The European Union's medicines regulator has recommended the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for use in the bloc's 27 states.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) authorised the drug for the EU's 446 million inhabitants after it went into circulation in the UK and in the US.
It is expected that the European Commission will formally approve the jab later on Monday.
Distribution could begin in some EU states as early as Sunday.
More than 311,000 lives have been lost to the pandemic across the bloc and fears of a new surge in cases among people gathering for the Christmas and New Year holidays have prompted partial lockdowns in countries like Germany and the Netherlands.The threat of a new, more infectious Covid-19 variant spreading from the UK has seen EU states suspending travel from Britain.
