Ugur Sahin, BioNTech’s chief executive and co-founder, told reporters on Wednesday that the vaccine his company created with Pfizer will likely require a third booster shot due to data showing a weaker immune response over time in people who received the vaccine, the Associated Press reported.
According to studies, the efficacy of the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine drops from 95% to 91% after six months. Sahin said people who receive two doses of the vaccine should get the third dose nine to 12 months after the first shot.
“Accordingly, we need a third shot to get the vaccine protection back up to almost 100% again,” Sahin said. “And then I expect it will probably be necessary to get another booster every year or perhaps every 18 months.”
Yep, they are going to keep shootin’ ya up until you die.
