Covid-19 roundup: Nor­mal life is in sight, but not with­out fur­ther vac­ci­na­tions — Bourla; For the 3rd time, EU Com­mis­sion could ex­tend ex­port scheme

Days af­ter the head of Mod­er­na pub­licly said that he be­lieves the pan­dem­ic will be over with­in a year, Pfiz­er CEO Al­bert Bourla has said that nor­mal life will re­turn with­in the same time frame, in an in­ter­view on ABC’s “This Week.” But that nor­mal life won’t come with­out vac­ci­na­tions, he said.

“I don’t think that means that this means we should be able to live our lives with­out vac­ci­na­tions, ba­si­cal­ly, the most like­ly sce­nario to me is that be­cause the virus is spread all over the world, we will con­tin­ue to see new vari­ants that are com­ing out, and we will con­tin­ue to have vac­cines that will last at least a year,” Bourla said. “But we don’t know, we need to wait and see the da­ta.”
