While Moderna begins its next phase of clinical trials, the Pfizer and BioNTech companies announced this week they are starting their own clinical trials as well.
On Thursday, Moderna’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Paul Burton, told NBC Bay Area that an omicron-specific booster is important because the COVID variant may be here to stay. But added that like the current vaccine, it starts to lose strength.
“Our prediction is that we’ll need one in the autumn of this year, and then perhaps yearly thereafter,” he said.Garcias still wants the new booster developed, even though she has mixed feelings about her school's mandate. “So I understand the frustration of having to do it and being mandated to do it,” she said. “It’s not like a flu shot where it’s optional, this is a mandate.”
While Moderna begins its next phase of clinical trials, the Pfizer and BioNTech companies announced this week they are starting their own clinical trials as well. The good news is that Moderna says the companies are sharing data and working together to come up with an effective vaccine.
