The Food and Drug Administration just announced that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is approved for the prevention of COVID-19, and this is a huge milestone in the fight against the pandemic that has upended so many lives across the globe.

Having full FDA approval will hopefully assure those who have been holding out on getting vaccinated that it’s safe, effective, and incredibly important to not only protect their health, but also the health of their families, friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Scientific and medical experts are assuring the public that this is a great tool to combat the virus, and the best thing is that it’s already widely available. It’s definitely a leap forward, and the time is now to get vaccinated.

At Clayco, we were incredibly proud to have worked with Pfizer on its research and development facility in Chesterfield, Missouri. It’s the place where the building blocks of the vaccine were created, and we are honored to have played a small part in getting it ready for widespread use and approval.

Everyone should get vaccinated as soon as they possibly can to save their lives and others from the threat of COVID-19. Let’s do the right thing and put Covid to bed, once and for all!
