Dr. Stephen Quay, a scientist overseeing two COVID-19 trials, discusses the timeline for the U.S. returning to normalcy, noting positive trends in cases and deaths in New York. He highlights advancements in vaccine distribution, including Pfizer’s revelation that their vaccine no longer requires extreme cold storage and the potential effectiveness of just one dose. Quay explains that ongoing research and trials inform these developments, emphasizing the importance of understanding vaccine immunity and addressing compliance issues. Regarding concerns about vaccine variants and the need for multiple doses, Quay suggests that while variants are important to monitor, the current vaccines should provide substantial immunity against most variants, with potential need for periodic boosters akin to the annual flu shot due to COVID-19 likely becoming endemic.
