In that interview, Albert Bourla said that he hoped that the current wave of 
omicrons would be the last, but he immediately added that the most probable 
scenario was one in which the virus would circulate among the world's 
population for years to come. 

"The most likely scenario, although I cannot guarantee that it will be exactly 
like that, is the one in which the virus will be among us for many, many years. 
It is a virus that is spreading around the world, so it is very difficult to 
eliminate it completely. Neither natural immunity nor vaccine immunity provide 
particularly long-term protection, which means that someone who is infected can 
become infected again next year, with the same or a different variant," Burla 
said. 

"It's also a virus that creates a lot of strains. But what's important to the 
world is not that the virus will continue to circulate the world for years to 
come, just like hundreds of other viruses do, but that we can return to normal 
life provided we stick to some measures", he added. 

However, he added optimistically, referring to the effectiveness of vaccines 
and drugs for COVID, as he believes that the wave of omicrons is "the last with 
so many restrictions". 

Bourla also said that the vaccine against omicron will be ready in March, and 
that the company is already working on the production of doses of those 
vaccines. "We will have an effective vaccine within three months from the 
detection of omicron, which is a very short period," added the president of the 
board of Pfizer. 

He reiterated that, as far as the general population is concerned, he cannot 
recommend a fourth dose of the vaccine because there is still not enough 
evidence of its effectiveness. Instead, he said, the booster, i.e. the third 
dose, should be promoted as very important for full protection against the more 
severe consequences of coronavirus infection.
