GENEVA, April 26 — Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine is being reviewed on April 30 by technical experts for possible WHO emergency use listing, a World Health Organisation spokesman told Reuters.

"We are discussing the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine on Friday 30 April 2021,” WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier said in reply to a query. A decision on the US drugmaker’s vaccine was expected in one to four days after that, he said.

So far Covid-19 vaccines made by Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson have already received WHO approval, which is a signal to national regulatory authorities on a product’s safety and efficacy. — Reuters
