The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety discloses permission after the final inspection committee is held

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jandi Kim = The approval of the health authorities for AstraZeneca’s novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine is expected to come out on the 10th.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced on the 8th that it will hold a final inspection committee to determine whether to approve the AstraZeneca Corona 19 vaccine at 10 am on the 10th and disclose the results of the meeting at 2 pm on the same day.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is a’triple’ expert leading to the Corona 19 Vaccine Safety and Effectiveness Verification Advisory Group (Verification Advisory Group), the Central Pharmacy Review Committee (Central Pharmacy Review), and the Final Inspection Committee for objective and fair approval review of COVID-19 treatment and vaccine I am in the process of consulting.

The final review committee will decide whether to finalize approval after reviewing expert opinions, efficacy, effects, and recommendations obtained through the verification advisory group and the Central Pharmacy Consultation.

Prior to this, at the meeting of the verification advisory group, there were many opinions that the vaccine should be administered to all age groups over the age of 18.

Afterwards, the Central Pharmacopoeia recommended that this product be approved by the age of 18 or older, but the vaccination for the elderly over the age of 65 should be carefully decided and discussed at the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vaccination Specialist Committee.

In principle, vaccinations can be given to all age groups over 18 years of age, including those over 65, but it means that the vaccination committee should decide whether to actually vaccination to the elderly.

However, he explained that it is not a safety issue, but because there is insufficient evidence to confirm the effect of administering this vaccine to the elderly.

Currently, some European countries are pointing out that AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine is not effective for the elderly.

The European Commission (EU) has authorized the AstraZeneca vaccine to be administered to all age groups over the age of 18, as recommended by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Apart from these permits, Germany, France, and the Netherlands recommend that vaccinations to the elderly should be restricted.
