Moderna & Pfizer vaccines will require boosters

[Ombligo]

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.

Of course they will say this, they want to make annual shots, too - great for their investors!

OR maybe Republican Scientistz were right all along and that this is no worse than the flu and Now We Has The Prooof.

While I haven’t always gotten flu shots in the past, I will get the boosters for Covid, if they tell me I need to.
I would suspect it will be necessary, because of new mutations.

This is the same information from our earlier thread. As the linked article says, too soon to know.

I will need a third shot by January. At least getting a booster should not be difficult at this point.
