8th COVID-19 Vaccine Authorized in Europe

The European Medicines Agency human medicines committee today announced it recommended authorizing the COVID-19 vaccine Bimervax (previously COVID-19 Vaccine HIPRA) as a booster in people aged 16 years and older who have previously been vaccinated with an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

It is the eighth vaccine recommended in the European Union for protecting against COVID-19 and, together with the vaccines already authorized, will support vaccination campaigns in EU Member States during the pandemic.

An updated listing of COVID-19 vaccines is posted at Coronavirus Today.
