Johnson & Johnson CEO Alex Gorsky told CNBC on Tuesday that people may need to get vaccinated against COVIC-19 annually, just like seasonal flu shots, over the next several years.
“Unfortunately, as [the virus] spreads it can also mutate. Every time it mutates, it’s almost like another click of the dial so to speak where we can see another variant, another mutation that can have an impact on its ability to fend off antibodies or to have a different kind of response not only to a therapeutic but also to a vaccine,” he said.
