FDA won't 'cut corners' to approve a Covid-19 vaccine, commissioner says

(CNN) - Safety will not be compromised for a Covid-19 vaccine, the US Food and Drug Administration commissioner said Monday.

Dr. Stephen Hahn made the declaration in a video briefing with the American Medical Association. More than 5 million Americans have been infected with coronavirus, and more than 163,000 have died, according to Johns Hopkins data.

Hahn acknowledged that because of the speed with which the agency is working, some experts have questioned whether the FDA will compromise its scientific principles in reviewing clinical trial data.
