LONDON--The U.K. became the first Western nation to grant
emergency-use authorization for a Covid-19 vaccine, clearing a shot
developed by Pfizer Inc. of the U.S. and BioNTech SE of Germany to
be distributed in limited numbers within days.
The two-shot vaccine is also being reviewed by the Food and Drug
Administration in the U.S., where a similar authorization could
come later this month and a rollout before the end of the year.
