Medical Countermeasure Priority Review Voucher

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the 
approval of a product redeeming a priority review voucher. The Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended by the 21st Century

of a material threat medical countermeasure application that meets 
certain criteria upon approval of such application. FDA is required to 
publish notice of the issuance of priority review vouchers as well as 
the approval of products redeeming a priority review voucher. FDA has 
determined that the application for MOUNJARO (tirzepatide) injection, 
approved May 13, 2022, meets the redemption criteria.
