WHO Authorizes Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine for Emergency Use

May 3, 2021

The World Health Organization (WHO) has given Moderna’s two-dose COVID vaccine an Emergency Use Listing (EUL), making it eligible for use in the global COVAX initiative aimed at getting vaccines to low- and middle-income countries.

The Moderna vaccine’s listing marks the fifth vaccine to be granted emergency listing status by the WHO. Low- and middle-income countries rely on the EUL to speed up their own regulatory authorizations that enable the importation and administration of vaccines.
