Moderna CEO: COVID pandemic could be over in a year

Moderna Chief Executive Stéphane Bancel said on Thursday he thinks the coronavirus pandemic could be over in a year.

Speaking to the Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung and quoted by Reuters, Bancel said, “If you look at the industry-wide expansion of production capacities over the past six months, enough doses should be available by the middle of next year so that everyone on this earth can be vaccinated. Boosters should also be possible to the extent required.”
