Both Moderna and Pfizer are saying their vaccines will require boosters in the fall and are ramping up production to be ready.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said people who’ve gotten both doses would likely need a third shot within 12 months and might need an annual shot thereafter.
"There are vaccines ... like polio that one dose is enough, and there are vaccines like flu that you need every year," Bourla said, "The COVID virus looks more like the influenza virus than the polio virus."
Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel made similar comments to Business Insider this week.

Hopefully the side effects to the inoculation will mellow out.
