[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) will disclose the results of the first expert advisory meeting for the approval of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine on the 10th.

According to the MFDS on the 7th, a verification advisory committee meeting for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine will be held on the 9th, and the results of the meeting will be announced on the morning of the 10th.

The MFDS has established a three-tier advisory procedure to ensure objective and transparent approval and review of COVID-19 treatments and vaccines. The verification advisory committee is the first stage of the external expert advisory process, followed by the Central Pharmaceutical Affairs Deliberation Committee and the Final Inspection Committee.

Earlier, on the 12th of last month, GC Green Cross applied to the MFDS for import approval of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. GC Green Cross is responsible for the approval and distribution of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in South Korea.

The Moderna vaccine is a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine developed on the same platform as Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, which was previously approved domestically.
