Pfizer will request authorization for a fourth dose of the vaccine

On Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said that “right now, as we’ve seen, a fourth booster is needed. The protection you are receiving from the third party is good enough, in fact very good, against hospitalizations and deaths. It’s not as good against infections, but it doesn’t last very long. But we are presenting that data to the FDA and then we will see what the experts outside of Pfizer say.”
