Moderna to Ask Health regulators to Authorize Its Covid-19 Vaccine

 Moderna Inc. said that it is going to ask on Monday if the United States and European health regulators will authorize the use of the company's covid-19 vaccine. If approved, this would be the second possible vaccine to become available in the United States by the end of the year. The vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech SE is already under regulatory review. In a 30,000 person trial, 196 subjects developed covid-19 symptoms after receiving either the vaccine or placebo. Of those 196, 185 had taken a placebo, while only 11 had actually got the vaccine, which shows it protects against the disease.
