Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said people will “likely” need a third dose of a Covid-19 vaccine within 12 months of getting fully vaccinated. His comments were made public Thursday but were taped April 1.

Bourla said it’s possible people will need to get vaccinated against the coronavirus annually.

“We need to see what would be the sequence, and for how often we need to do that, that remains to be seen,” he told CNBC’s Bertha Coombs during an event with CVS Health. “A likely scenario is that there will be likely a need for a third dose, somewhere between six and 12 months and then from there, there will be an annual revaccination, but all of that needs to be confirmed. And again, the variants will play a key role.”

“It is extremely important to suppress the pool of people that can be susceptible to the virus,” Bourla said.

7. Pfizer didn't spend billions of dollars to have a 2 and done

vaccine. They are still in business to make a profit, same with Moderna and J&J.

It's no big deal to get a booster, though. But there is still much to be learned about antibodies and how long they last.

I get an annual flu shot so what's one more to help keep me safe.

10. You didn't expect the chips to last forever did you? We probably have to get it

for the rest of our lives.

11. My question is,

who's going to pay for any further doses? Since we don't have a healthcare system, and no caps on pricing, I'm concerned about the costs of any further doses.
