A vaccine to be done once a year and which covers the variante Omicron and all other changes in Sars Cov 2. The CEO of Pfizer, Albert Bourla, in an interview with Israeli TV Channel 12 news explained that boosters at short intervals would not be “a good scenario. I hope that we will have a vaccine to be done once a year, it is easier to get people to do it “.
Just last week from Israel Preliminary results have arrived from a study that has shown – albeit in small numbers – that the fourth dose of the vaccine does not protect against Omicron contagion. The booster further increases the antibodies, but several infections have been recorded. Bourla, responding to questions, announced that the pharmaceutical company is trying to “create a vaccine that covers Omicron and does not forget the other variants, which could be a solution”. A compound in some universal world that prevents the Covid protecting from the variants known so far and those to come. The vaccines, developed up to now, have been designed starting from the original virus and have withstood the impact of very diffuse variants such as Alpha and Delta and the third dose has substantially protected the vaccinated from serious illness and death. In March, it may be ready to apply for approval for a redesigned vaccine to counter the variant first detected in South Africa and Botswana and which is now dominant in many countries. The goal, for Bourla, is to produce it already in the spring.
According to the top manager, who will receive an award in Israel in June, the world could return to near-normal conditions within a few months. “The virus will not be eradicated. The virus will be with us for years to come… we should be able to return to a normal life… in a few months ”. However, he stressed that there will continue to be “anomalies, such as Omicron … that we will be able to control“. Also because it is foreseeable that in the future Sars Cov 2 will change again.
