The European Medicines Agency said Wednesday it has started assessing reports about conditions related to the skin and kidneys following vaccinations using <a href="https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/covid-19-vaccine-safety-update/covid-19-vaccine-safety-update-comirnaty-11-august-2021_en.pdf">Comirnaty</a>, developed by <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/pfe-stock">Pfizer</a> and BioNTech, and <a href="https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/covid-19-vaccine-safety-update/covid-19-vaccine-safety-update-spikevax-previously-covid-19-vaccine-moderna-11-august-2021_en.pdf">Spikevax</a>, the product from Moderna. The notifications from the agency were <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/eu-drugs-regulator-looking-new-possible-side-effects-mrna-vaccines-2021-08-11/?taid=6113db6de362840001dfed57&amp;utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&amp;utm_medium=trueAnthem&amp;utm_source=twitterurce=twitter">reported by Reuters. </a>Both Moderna and US-listed shares of Germany-based BioNTech dropped as much as 19%. Moderna's drop pulled the stock further away from a record high reached on Monday. <keyword id="44612" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Pfizer">Pfizer</keyword> shares fell 4% at intraday lows.The EMA said "a small number of cases" about potential side effects were reported but it didn't specify how many. The agency's Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee is trying to establish if Erythema multiforme, an allergic reaction characterized by round skin lesions; glomerulonephritis, or inflammation of tiny filters in the kidneys; and nephrotic syndrome are side effects in each vaccine. Nephrotic syndrome is a disorder that causes the kidneys to leak too much protein in the urine. "Further data and analyses have been requested from the marketing authorisation holder to support the ongoing assessment," by the committee, the agency said in each notice. Moderna shares on Monday surged 17% to a record closing high, in part after its coronavirus vaccine won approval for use in Australia, and Switzerland cleared it for injections to young people aged 12 to 17 years. Moderna's valuation climbed near $200 billion on Monday stemming from a massive rally of more than 360% during the year. The valuation made Moderna worth more than drug and vaccine giant <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/mrk-stock">Merck</a>. The valuation is "unjustifiable on a fundamental basis," <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/bac-stock?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingestgest">Bank of America</a> said in <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/pfe-stock">a note on Tuesday</a>. The bank reiterated its target price of $115, which had represented a potential downside of 76% from Monday's close. Moderna's stock fell by 5.7% on Tuesday.
