The UK’s medicines regulator could approve the Pfizer/BioNTech or Oxford University/AstraZeneca jabs within days of a licence application being submitted, according to Health Secretary Matt Hancock who said this week that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has been carrying out a rolling review of data from both Pfizer/BioNTech and Oxford University/AstraZeneca and that means that the regulator will be able to make a judgment on whether this is clinically safe, and not just take the company’s word for it, but do that within a matter of days from a formal licence application.
