Pfizer CEO says frequent boosters 'not a good scenario,' hopes for yearly vaccine

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Saturday said people getting COVID-19 booster shots every four to five months is "not a good scenario" and argued that an annual vaccine would be a better approach to fighting the virus.

Bourla told the Hebrew publication N12 News in an exclusive interview that the best way to combat COVID-19 is a vaccine that can be administered every year, not with boosters received every few months, according to Reuters.

"This will not be a good scenario," he said when asked about people getting booster shots every four to five months, per the wire service. "What I'm hoping [is] that we will have a vaccine that you will have to do once a year."

"Once a year - it is easier to convince people to do it. It is easier for people to remember," he continued. "So from a public health perspective, it is an ideal situation."

Bourla said Pfizer was seeking to create a vaccine that could counter omicron in addition to other strains of the virus "that could be a solution."

Amid a surge in cases driven by the omicron variant, the Biden administration is encouraging Americans to get booster shots in addition to a full initial regimen of the COVID-19 vaccine.

I’m sure he does hope for annual vaccine. The annual flu shots only got a piece of the potential action.

Yep. Tell him to “hope” into his right hand and “crap” in his left hand and see which fills up first.

Just a coincidence that they’re seeing diminishing returns, I’m sure.

It’s about what he can “convince people to do”.

Got it.

“Bourla said Pfizer was seeking to create a vaccine that could counter omicron in addition to other strains of the virus “that could be a solution.””

Isn’t this similar to what the U.S. Army has developed?

Everyone knows that Pfizer’s oral “Pavlov-id” is the way to go:
