The United States allowed annual vaccination against COVID-19
Due to COVID-19 mutations, an annual vaccination of the world population may be required, the corporation’s director said.
The director of the US corporation Johnson & Johnson, Alex Gorski, admitted that in light of the rapid changes in the new coronavirus, an annual vaccination against the infection might be necessary. This was announced on Tuesday, February 9, on the air of the television channel CNBC.
As he emphasized, the virus is changing very rapidly, which will likely affect the effectiveness of vaccines.
“I think that, in the opinion of the majority, in the coming years we will be vaccinated against the coronavirus in the same way that we do with the flu vaccine.
The head of the corporation said that it is necessary to prepare for the next few years.
At the end of January, the company reported on the effectiveness of its drug, which is estimated at 72%. The company has applied for FDA approval for the emergency use of this drug. Two vaccines are now licensed in the US: From Pfizer / BioNTech and from Moderna.
It is known that Ukraine will receive 117 thousand doses of Pfizer vaccines. But the other day, President Vladimir Zelensky discussed the supplies with the director of the company.
Previously, the Ministry of Health said that at this time there is an understanding of receiving 22 million doses of vaccines.
