On the 18th, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the emergency authorization application for the use of the coronavirus vaccine developed by the American biotechnology company moderna .
This is the second approved COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use in the United States, and it is allowed for use in people aged 18 and above.
