Dr. Anthony Fauci this week in an ABC News interview said the current COVID-19 vaccine regimens only provide patients with approximately six months of durability and that boosters will probably be needed. He said although the first two shots of MRNA vaccines such as Pfizer and Moderna only provide six months, he’s confident a third booster will provide much more protection.

When asked if Americans should be expecting yearly boosters, here’s what Fauci had to say:
