White House chief advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said people may need to get booster shots for the Covid vaccines in a year, during an interview with MSNBC’s Medhi Hasan Monday.
Recent data suggests that Pfizer and Moderna’s Covid vaccines provide protection for at least six months, Fauci said.
Pfizer released data on April 1 showing that its mRNA vaccine is highly effective six months after the second dose. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said that people will likely need a booster dose within 12 months of vaccination, he told CNBC’s Bertha Coombs during an event with CVS Health made public Thursday.
