Pfizer CEO says new variants might make four—or more—vaccine doses ‘necessary’ - theold - 25-03-2022
Bourla said, “We can’t have vaccines every five, six months.”
Bourla told CBS on Sunday, adding that while a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine is “actually quite good for [preventing] hospitalizations and deaths…it’s not that good against infections.”
Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that while a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine helps prevent hospitalization from the Omicron variant, protection from a third dose may start to wane after just four months.
Yet Bourla says Pfizer is developing vaccines to get society back to “the way we used to live” and says the drugmaker is working to develop vaccines that could protect against all variants and provide protection for at least a year.
