Persoanele care au primit vaccinul Pfizer vor avea probabil „nevoie” de a treia doză în termen de un an, apoi fără îndoială o injecţie în fiecare an, a spus CEO Pfizer, Albert Bourla, notează AFP, citată de Agerpres. „Şi, pe de altă parte, noile tulpini vor juca un rol cheie”, a adăugat el. „Este extrem de important să reducem la maxim numărul persoanelor vulnerabile la virus”, a adăugat Albert Bourla. „Studiem durata răspunsului anticorpilor”, a spus el. Alianţa Pfizer/BioNTech anunţase deja în februarie că studiază într-un studiu clinic efectele unei a treia doze de vaccin împotriva noilor tulpini.
