Astra Zeneca vaccine may get EU registration in January - SUKL

The anti-Covid Astra Zeneca vaccine that applied on Tuesday for the European Medicines Agency (EMA) registration, may be approved by the end of January, and the Czech Republic expects three million doses of it this year, including 200,000 in February, the State Institute for Drugs Control (SUKL) has said. Along with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, which, however, cannot be kept by general practitioners in their surgeries due to the demanding storage conditions, Astra Zeneca makes up a majority of the vaccine supplies the Czech Republic has bought for 2021.
