UK approves Pfizer bivalent Covid vaccine ahead of booster drive
The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved the Pfizer jab as a booster for those aged 12 and over after a "careful review of the evidence". The UK regulator last month okayed a similar bivalent vaccine by Moderna, becoming the first country to do so. MHRA chief executive June Raine said: "I am pleased to announce that we now have a second approved vaccine for the UK Autumn booster programme."
