A Moderna executive has said that the Pandemic is winding down but annual vaccines will be needed, CNBC reports.
“We do believe that we are transitioning into an endemic phase marked by a period of stability in case counts, hospitalizations and deaths at least in the Northern Hemisphere,” Moderna Chief Medical Officer Paul Burton told analysts during a call Thursday morning after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings.
“I got a flu shot every year, not that I was worried of dying or getting hospitalized — I just don’t want to get sick,” Bancel said.
