“#Several annual COVID vaccines may be needed: Johnson & Johnson CEO<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The CEO of Johnson & Johnson said Tuesday that people may need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 annually for the next several years \u2014 similar to seasonal flu shots.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, as (the virus) spreads it can also mutate,\u201d Alex Gorsky said in an interview on CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time it mutates, it\u2019s almost like another click of the dial so to speak where we can see another variant, another mutation that can have an impact on its ability to fend off antibodies or to have a different kind of response not only to a therapeutic but also to a vaccine,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Public health officials have previously warned that the coronavirus is likely here to stay.<\/p>\n

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation\u2019s top infectious diseases expert, said COVID-19 may become \u201cendemic,\u201d meaning it will be constantly part of communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI doubt we\u2019re going to eradicate this,\u201d\u00a0Fauci said at a virtual health conference last week. \u201cI think we need to plan that this is something we may need to maintain control over chronically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gorsky\u2019s comments, meanwhile, came after Johnson & Johnson last week asked the US Food and Drug Administration to authorize its single-dose COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use.<\/p>\n

The drugmaker says its shot is 66 percent effective at preventing moderate-to-severe disease.<\/p>\n

The J&J vaccine would add a vital third option \u2014 along with Pfizer and Moderna shots \u2014 as the US struggles to distribute vaccines against the virus.<\/p>\n

However, the J&J version has proved less effective against a more aggressive\u00a0strain of the virus found in South Africa, the report said.<\/p>\n

That strain, as well as a variant identified in the UK, has been detected in the US.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
