Both heads of major pharmaceutical companies cited the spread of the Omicron variant in justifying their predictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will be surprised when we get that data in the coming weeks that it\u2019s holding nicely over time \u2014 I would expect that it\u2019s not going to hold great,\u201d Bancel said, referring to the protection against COVID-19 awarded by the vaccine, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/01\/06\/moderna-ceo-says-people-may-need-fourth-covid-shot-as-efficacy-of-boosters-likely-to-decline-over-time.html\">CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still believe we\u2019re going to need boosters in the fall of \u201922 and forward,\u201d he continued. He said more vulnerable populations, such as those who are older or have comorbidities, may need annual boosters for years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been saying that we believe first this virus is not going away,\u201d Bancel said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have to live with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About a month ago, Bourla made a similar prediction. \u201cWhen we see real-world data, will determine if the omicron is well covered by the third dose and for how long. And the second point, I think we will need a fourth dose,\u201d Bourla said during an appearance on CNBC.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, the federal government appeared to endorse the belief that vaccinated people should take booster shots to maintain the durability of their COVID-19 immunity, though some medical experts were quick to accuse the government of manipulating its message to push people into getting a booster shot regardless of risk factors. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cdc-manipulating-message-to-push-covid-booster-some-doctors-say\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<p><em>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began this week advising people to keep their COVID-19 vaccination \u201cup to date,\u201d a change from the CDC\u2019s former recommendation that people be \u201cfully vaccinated\u201d with either two shots of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna\u2019s vaccines or one shot of Johnson &amp; Johnson\u2019s.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The \u201cup-to-date\u201d standard is open to containing one or more booster shots on top of the initial vaccination. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWell CDC just did it, as I predicted.
