the pfizer ceo says a fourth dose of their covid vaccine is necessary. the company has submitted data to the fda. is it necessary, based on everything we know about immunity so far? >> the answer is yes, and maybe yes. if you're looking at the metric of preventing serious disease, hospitalization and death, one would argue please say that the dose is probably good enough right now based on the data we have in the u.s.. if your preventing a breakthrough infection even though it may be asymptomatic or mount, then you probably need a shot every six month. our immunities -- are antibodies wane after six months. kristen: which criteria will we go by, preventing cases, or preventing serious outcomes? >> it depends on whether or not we are in the middle of a surge and who you are thinking about. take for example, health care workers in the middle of a surge. you may want to prevent infection because right now, everyone who gets infected has to stay home for at least five days. the u.k. and south africa dispense with that in you don't even have to isolate their

. >> can you do a moderna versus pfizer and i say that because having looked at pfizer, it looks likeyeah, this is really interesting. i remember you and i talking about this, brianna, when pfizer first released some of this data. it was interesting, what they found was exactly as you said, what the pfizer vaccine under the age of 2, children did seem to produce a lot of neutralizing antibodies on par with what adults produced as well with the vaccine. it was really the 2 to 5 age group where they weren't getting much of a response there. now, i do want to show you, there is a difference in the dosing of these vaccines. people may not pay as close attention to this, flu vaccine adult dose, kid doses, they're the same. with the covid vaccines, they're different and different between pfizer and moderna. pfizer's vaccine, for example, three micrograms, adult dosing is 30 micrograms, that's a tenth a dose. with the moderna vaccines, 25 micrograms, where as adults is 100 micrograms, a quarter of the dose. where pfizer stands, brianna, is that they're basically saying, look, the two doses w

today i spoke with the ceo of pfizer, maker of one of the life-saving covid vaccines.said initially the vaccine did not work. you see a photocopy of his new book that's out. his team kept at it and ultimately it did. with the success of the vaccine also came criticism that pfizer was monetizing and is monetizing this pandemic. we talked to him, though, about the status of the vaccine for kids under the age of 5. >> i think next month we'll have our data unblinded so we'll know what we have. we hope it will -- we know we will have a safe vaccine. i hope we'll have a very effective vaccine. >> was there a setback? because initially we thought for the younger kids we'd be able to do it by march, right now, and it got delayed. what happened? >> we were asked by the fda to submit data on the second dose. we know that this would be for omicron. we need three doses to be successful. it's the same for kids and it is the same for adults. we know which is the case. however, omicron affected disproportionately younger kids. although the previous variants were more severe and omic

i do not believe that approach makes sense to it i believe the pfizer approach makes sense.ou can get a fourth shot as a 20-year-old, your antibodies will go up temporarily, but they will come down after four, but you have a good immunity to protect yourself against severe disease. it is changing our understanding of what the vaccines were meant to do. they were never meant to prevent every single mild infection of covid. they were meant to protect us against severe disease. that is why we created vaccines. liz: this gets into what you already spoke about. i'm looking at questions from people on facebook as well. is there a chance to much booster ken hagan -- can have a negative effect or make us less immune, more immune to the vaccine? >> it is a good question. there are some immunologists who are concerned that if you keep seeing the old version of the spike protein, remember, it was not developed against the other variants, that was another strain, there was a spike protein, the old spike protein, you keep training your t cells to respond to an old variant, some immunolog
