Booster shots for the coronavirus vaccine will be necessary at some point, but it is too early to tell how often they will be needed, Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel told "Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street" in an exclusive interview. "The variant is going to be the big question in terms of boosting," Bancel explained to host Maria Bartiromo. When you get infected, you make antibodies or [when] you get vaccinated and make antibodies, over time the level of antibodies going to go down, that is normal and natural. Over time boosts are going to be required, it is too early to know how frequently because we don’t have enough data." The CEO also emphasized that booster shots "are going to be really important to keep the country safe and open and we are working very hard.
