In an interview, bourla said: < / P > < p > it is extremely important to control the susceptible population of the new coronavirus, and vaccines will become an important tool against highly infectious variants. < / P > < p > according to the report, bourla's above statement was actually published as early as April 1, but it was actually published on this Thursday. < / P > < p > and in February, Pfizer and biontech had said that they were testing a third dose of the new vaccine to better understand the possible immune response to the mutant virus. < / P > < p > it is not only bourla but also some people in the U.S. government who say it is necessary to strengthen the dose injection. Earlier on Thursday, David Kessler, chief scientist of the new crown working group of the Biden administration, said that Americans should be prepared to receive an enhanced dose of the new crown vaccine to avoid infection with the mutant new crown virus. Kessler told the new crown Committee of the house of representatives that the currently authorized vaccine has a strong protective effect, but the effectiveness of the vaccine may be "challenged" by new virus variants: < / P > < p > we do not know anything now. We are studying the persistence of antibody response. The response seems to be strong, but there are some weakening. There is no doubt that virus variants make it harder for vaccines to work. So I think, even if it's just for planning, we should be prepared that we may have to get a booster dose. In addition, bourla said in an interview that people may need to be vaccinated every year to prevent new coronavirus infection. Bourla's statement is similar to that of Alex Gorsky, CEO of Johnson & Johnson, in February. Gorski thought at the time that people might need to be vaccinated with seasonal < a target = "_ blank" href=" https://news.163.com/news/search?keyword=%E6%B5%81%E6%84%9F "> like influenza < / a > vaccine, new coronal vaccine is given every year to prevent the virus. < / P > < p > Pfizer's CEO is not the only pharmaceutical executive who says he needs a booster dose of vaccine. On the previous Wednesday, Stephane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, said in an interview that he hoped to provide an enhanced dose of the company's two doses of neocrown vaccine this autumn.
