'It is conceivable that we will only have one of them out' by Sept. 20, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday, 'but the other would likely follow soon thereafter.”
The Pfizer-BioNTech shot will likely be the only COVID-19 vaccine booster available by Sept. 20, the Biden administration’s target date to begin offering them, but Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that Moderna’s shot shouldn’t be too far behind.
“We were hoping that we would get both the candidates, both products, Moderna and Pfizer, rolled out by the week of the 20th. It is conceivable that we will only have one of them out, but the other would likely follow soon thereafter,” Fauci told host Weijia Jiang. “But if not, we’ll do it sequentially,” he added. “So the bottom line is, very likely, at least part of the plan will be implemented, but ultimately the entire plan will be.” Fauci said any delay in approving Moderna’s shot would likely be “at most a couple of weeks.”Officials have said those who got the Johnson & Johnson JNJ, +0.06% vaccine will also likely need a booster, but no other details have been announced.
