Health officials say the strain is worrisome because it may evade prior protections and not respond to current vaccines.
In a statement, Bourla said he hadn’t received his company’s updated bivalent Omicron booster yet, since he was following a suggestion by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that people wait three months after a prior infection before getting the updated shot.
And while “there is a greater likelihood if you were more recently infected that you’ve got some natural immunity that ought to protect you,” Ferrer said, it’s clear that protection is limited in both scope and duration. Ferrer has noted that guidance from the CDC still allows people to choose to get the updated booster sooner than three months after a coronavirus infection.
