(Reuters) – The European Medicines Agency could approve the Novavax (NASDAQ:) coronavirus vaccine as early as next week, paving the way for emergency use listing from the World Health Organization, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing sources.

Novavax shares rose 7% after the report.

The EMA, WHO and Novavax did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A WHO approval could come once the health body issued its own emergency use listing, or if the EMA gave it a conditional marketing authorisation, the newspaper reported.
