Sanofi Pasteur COVID-19 vaccine authorised by MHRA

By Caribbean News Global fav

LONDON, England – This new vaccine, VidPrevtyn Beta, has been authorised after meeting the MHRA’s required safety, quality and effectiveness standards, says Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, in a press release Wednesday, December 21, 2022.

“VidPrevtyn Beta, the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Sanofi, has been authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). It becomes the seventh COVID-19 vaccine authorised by the UK’s independent medicines regulator, following expert advice from the government’s independent scientific advisory body, the Commission on Human Medicines.”

Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, added:

“VidPrevtyn Beta combines the spike protein from a COVID virus variant, Beta, with an ‘adjuvant’ – an additional ingredient designed to trigger a stronger immune response. The clinical evidence for this authorisation is based on data from about 800 individuals previously immunised with an mRNA or viral-vectored vaccine. The vaccine demonstrated a strong immune response. The most common side effects observed were mild and self-resolved within a few days of vaccination.”

The press release continued:

“The authorisation is for the use of this vaccine in those aged 18 and over, as a heterologous booster dose, given as a single injection. This means that those who received a different vaccine (mRNA or viral-vectored) as a primary course, can receive this vaccine as a booster. As with all vaccines, people with an allergy to one of the components listed in the patient information leaflet should not receive the vaccine.”
