Pfizer and BioNtech had published the results from study in the laboratory, which shows that the third dosage is also effective in fighting Omitron variant, until the second dosage slightly dims the protection against this infection.
However, they have made it known that two doses offer protection from this option but that some need stronger immunity, and for this reason they need to receive additional doses.
When we look at real world data, it will determine whether the omikron is well covered by the third dose and how long. And second point, I think we're gonna need a fourth dose,” said Bourla for “ Square Box CNBC”.
Bourla pointed out that a new version of COVID-19 has been tested from study in the laboratory, but that more tests must be conducted according to him to be as accurate as possible.
Pfizer's Executive Director said what is most important at the moment is the release of third doses for winter. Public health officials are concerned about an increase in vivid infections as people gather more indoors because of the cold.
