US health secretary, Alex Azar, remarks
Azar says that the FDA has told Moderna that it expects to grant emergency-use authorisation for its coronavirus vaccine as soon as today. Just a heads up in case we do see that hit the wires later and in case it sparks a bit of reaction in risk trades.
Update: Trump just tweeted this.
Moderna vaccine overwhelmingly approved. Distribution to start immediately.
