The Chief Executive Officer of Moderna, Stephane Bancel, spoke at the yearly Tech Live conference hosted by the Wall Street Journal earlier this week. Bancel stated that if the interim results from the clinical trial of its experimental COVID 19 vaccine product are positive then the United States government might authorize it for emergency use by December 2020.
This is a significant announcement and something that could be considered positive by investors. That being said, Bancel was also quick to add that if it takes longer to obtain the sufficient number of interim results, then the authorization might be awarded in the early days of 2021.
