TORONTO (AP) — The executive director of the European Medicines Agency said Tuesday she hopes there might be “multiple" vaccines to help stop the coronavirus pandemic by the end of next year.

Emer Cooke told The Associated Press in an interview that the EU regulator might approve the first COVID-19 vaccine, made by Pfizer and BioNTech after an “extraordinary meeting” to evaluate the evidence on Dec. 29, although that date could be moved up earlier. A second shot made by Moderna Inc. could be greenlighted on Jan. 12.
