The European Commission greenlighted the COVID-19 vaccine candidate from Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) and BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX), hours after the European Medicines Agency issued a positive opinion to recommend it for conditional marketing authorization. - The decision by the EU’s executive arm will allow the two companies to roll out the vaccine across the 27-nation bloc. The deliveries are expected to start on Saturday, with inoculations beginning across the EU between December 27-29.

- After receiving the positive opinion from EMA, the CEO of Pfizer’s German partner, BioNTech, said, “Being in the heart of the EU, we are thrilled to be one step closer to potentially delivering the first vaccine in Europe to help combat this devastating pandemic.”
-
- The decision by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of EMA was based on Phase 3 clinical data published in The New England Journal of Medicine in early December.
