An influential expert panel is meeting Thursday to vote on authorizing Moderna's coronavirus vaccine.
By the end of the day, the committee will vote on whether or not to recommend emergency use authorization.
The US Food and Drug Administration isn't required to follow the group's advice, but often does so. The agency could OK Moderna's shot as soon as Thursday night or Friday, according to media reports.
Healthcare and science reporters Andrew Dunn and Hilary Brueck are providing live updates from the day-long meeting.
