Earlier this month,Pfizer has also published a study on its vaccine efficiency after six months. The study, shared on April 1, analyzed the test data of more than 46,000 participants. Researchers found only 77 participants developed symptomatic cases of COVID after receiving the vaccine, while the other 850 people who took a placebo had Covid, proving that he is still very effective six times a year later.

The Pfizer CEO stated that a third shot may be necessary even earlier.
Talking about a Virtual Health Event of CVS on April 15, Pfg-CEO of PfizerAlbert Bourla says a booster growth will probably benecessary once a year. "There will probably be a need for a third dose, about six to 12 months," Bourla noted. "But all this must be confirmed."
According to Bourla, deferral shots are probably necessary because the Covid virus is very similar to the flu in that it substitutes frequently. And the best way to protect themselves and others against mutations is to be vaccinated. "It is extremely important to remove the pool of people who may be susceptible to virus as they are vaccinated with high efficiency vaccines," said Bourla. "The people's pool is what defines the number of replications that the virus will do and defines whether or not and how many variants will appear." And for more vaccine guidance,Make sure you get vaccinated in this arm, experts say.
And you may need a booster every year or every 18 months.
Beyond your third shot, Sahin told AP: "I'm waiting for it to be necessary to get another booster every year or maybe every 18 months."
Sahin also addressed concerns aboutEfficiency of the vaccine against new variants of COVID, saying Pfizer-Biontech tested the vaccine against more than two dozen mutations. Without giving accurate data, Sahin stated that the immune response "remained sufficient" against these variants, even if they are slightly diminished, AP reported. It also suspects vaccinated people would be protected against the new Covid variant in India, but an investigation is still in progress. "The Indian variant has mutations that we have already studied and against which our vaccine also works, so I am confident there too," said Sahin.
