Pfizer and Moderna have said they are working on a vaccine that would specifically protect against the Omicron variant.
"Many variants are coming, and Omicron was the first one that was able to evade -- in a skillful way -- the immune protection that we're giving," Bourla told CBS'"Face the Nation."
Anyone ages 18 and up who got the two-dose Moderna vaccine should get a booster shot six months after the second dose, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We are just submitting those data to the FDA, and then we'll see what the experts also would say outside Pfizer," Bourla said.Currently, children ages 5 to 11 are eligible for two pediatric doses of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine but are not yet eligible for a booster. Pfizer is testing a third dose in that age group now.
