Shares of Pfizer continued attracting investors as the stock rose 4 percent in morning trade on BSE on December 3, a day after logging decent gains of 2.44 percent.

The stock gained traction after the UK has become the first country to authorise the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for use. Britain on December 2 said that the COVID-19 vaccine will be rolled out for use from next week.

“The Government has today accepted the recommendation from the Independent Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to approve Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine for use,” the government said.

“The vaccine will be made available across the UK from next week," it added.

Pfizer, in November, had said that an early peek at its vaccine data suggested the shots maybe 90 percent effective at preventing COVID-19.
