“We’re bullish about what our vaccine is going to be able to do to respond to the various mutations and variants,” said Angela Hwang, group president of biopharmaceuticals at Pfizer, which is partnered with BioNTech. Though she acknowledged at some point there might be a need for a new vaccine all together.

The flu vaccine has around 40 to 60% efficacy depending on the year, but Pfizer and Moderna greatly exceeded expectations, with efficacy rates around 95%.
