Pfizer to study vaccinated people who get infected for guidance on booster shots

A top Pfizer researcher said the U.S. company is looking at “breakthrough cases” of fully vaccinated people who later got infected by the coronavirus in an attempt to understand if, and when, booster shots need to be administered.

“We’re going to be monitoring this closely and using immunological data, clinical data and real world data to help us think about when a booster might be needed,” David Swerdlow, Pfizer’s clinical epidemiology lead, told a conference Monday, according to Bloomberg Law.

Reports of people inoculated with U.S.-authorized shots dying or requiring hospitalization due to covid are extremely rare, although exactly how long protection lasts isn’t yet clear. Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-diseases specialist, has said that booster shots will probably be necessary, although the timing of such “third doses” has not been determined.
