Yeah, I don't get why the Astrazeneca vaccine approval in the US is being delayed till (reportedly) March. Is it because Pfizer and Moderna are US companies charging a lot more money vs. Oxford/Astrazeneca being UK and not making any money on their vaccine?
- sterlind 6y agoI think it's because of the transverse myelitis scare during AZ's Phase 3 tests, combined with AZ's dosage quality control issues making it really hard to interpret efficacy data.
- pkaye 6y agoThe US trial got delayed but is due to complete by March I think. It will resolve some questions raised from the UK trial. Besides this, it looks like AZ is way behind on production anyway. With UK and EU fighting over the doses, the US may take a while to get any.
