Reports say this will further delay any rollout of the British drugmaker's jabs. FMTNews AstraZeneca Covid19 Vaccines

NEW YORK: AstraZeneca Plc may skip asking the US Food and Drug Administration for emergency-use authorisation for its Covid-19 vaccine and instead pursue the more time-intensive application for a full-fledged licence to sell the shot, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

Asked about the Wall Street Journal report, AstraZeneca did not comment directly, saying in an emailed statement that it “continues to progress our FDA submission for AZD1222”. Last week, AstraZeneca said it was working as fast as possible to compile data on its Covid-19 vaccine to apply for US approval. The company said it planned to apply for US approval in the coming weeks.
