A third booster dose may be required within 12 months of receiving the vaccine, said Albert Borla, Pfizer’s chief executive officer (CEO).

He made the remarks in an interview aired on CNBC on Thursday, local time. The April 1 interview was recorded.

Albert Borla said the change in the character of the corona has changed the structure of the gene so much that a third dose of the vaccine would be needed to protect against this viral strain.

To avoid coronary heart disease at this time, one booster dose may have to be taken every year after vaccination, Borla said.

The CEO of Pfizer said that a booster dose should be taken within 6 to 12 months of taking the second dose to prevent new types of infections from spreading around the world. You may need to take another dose every year after the third dose. However, he said more research is needed on booster doses of the vaccine.

Preliminary studies have shown that Pfizer vaccines have so far proved effective. Other vaccines are able to protect against coronavirus infection for up to six months. But experts say new types may require regular boosters.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
