A fourth COVID-19 vaccine shot will be necessary to prevent future coronavirus infection, Pfizer’s CEO said Sunday as the pharmaceutical company prepares to submit supporting data to the Food and Drug Administration.
“Right now, the way that we have seen, it is necessary, a fourth [shot] right now,” CEO Albert Bourla said in an interview with CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”
“The protection that you are getting from the third, it is good enough, actually quite good for hospitalizations and deaths. It’s not that good against infections but doesn’t last very long,” he said. “But we are just submitting those data to the FDA, and then we will see what the experts also will say outside Pfizer.”
Bourla shared that Pfizer is working on ultimately creating a coronavirus vaccine that would protect people against all of the known variants, including omicron, and that would last for at least a year. He likened this to an annual flu shot.
“We need to understand that the COVID will not go away in the years to come. We will have to live, to learn how to live with it, and we can, as we are living with many ― so many other viruses,” he said.
Creating an annual vaccine, he added, would be like going back to the way we used to live.
Preliminary data on this vaccine’s development is promising, he said in an interview Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” but information from trial studies won’t be available until the end of the month.
Data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month found that booster shots lose a great amount of effectiveness after four months.

I took a 325mg Bayer Aspirin for 25yrs, retired in 2012, but got extremely sick in 2017, spent 37 days in two hospitals, and they found all kinds of stuff wrong inside. Bang zoom, I’m on more meds than I can count. Add-in the Covid arrival, and I loaded-up on OTC meds. WTH, they’re keeping me alive.
:) Finally got to cross him off the concert bucket list Aug 2016 here in Louisville KY at our lovely Palace Theater. SUCH a great show.
Just watching him exhausts me.
I have no idea how he does it, night after night, year after year.
;D
Why in the hell would you take 3 Pfizer poison jabs in 2021?
Shirley, the info was out there and just common sense based on who was pushing & mandating the jabs.
I’m the same age as you and I have not and will not take any jabs...still doing just fine - no colds, no flu.
As sick and in as bad a shape as I was in 2017-2018, at 72 with 7 co-morbidities, I was urged by medical people in family, friends and Drs, to get the shots, including the seasonal flu shot. I doing fine, with no fever, flu or colds.
