The return to normal life, will be within a year, this positive sign was issued by major Covid vaccine makers, CEOs of Pfizer and Moderna.

“I agree that, within a year, I think we will be able to come back to normal life,” said Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on ABC news network’s “This Week.”

He added that he did not think that coronavirus variants won’t exist or that vaccines won’t be needed. He said that “most likely scenario” new variants will be observed and vaccines that would last “at least a year” would be developed.

“I think the most likely scenario is annual revaccination, but we don’t know really. We need to wait and see the data,” Bourla said.

Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel echoed Bourla’s thoughts in his conversation with Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung last week. He said “enough doses should be available by the middle of next year so that everyone on this earth can be vaccinated.”

These remarks from the CEOs have come after US Food and Drug Administration’s decision to recommend third dose (booster) of Covid vaccine for people aged 65 and above and also for those having compromised immune system.

Rochelle Walensky, Director of Center for Disease Control and Prevention has said last week that boosters would also be available for people in high-risk environments such as healthcare workers.
