Sick again: Pfizer CEO tests positive for COVID-19 for second time in two months
Bourla, who last tested positive for the virus in August, was waiting to receive his bivalent booster vaccine."I’m feeling well & symptom free," Bourla wrote in a tweet."While we’ve made great progress, the virus is still with us." I have tested positive for COVID. I’m feeling well & symptom free. I’ve not had the new bivalent booster yet, as I was following CDC guidelines to wait 3 months since my previous COVID case which was back in mid-August.
The CDC approved Pfizer's 30-microgram bivalent booster shot on Sept. 1 for people over the age of 12. As of Thursday, the CDC reported that 4.4 million people had received this updated booster, or roughly less than 2% of the U.S. population. Moderna has a 50-microgram dose approved for people over the age of 18.President Joe Biden received his second booster shot in March of this year.
In mid-August, when Bourla last tested positive for COVID-19, he said,"I am grateful to have received four doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and I am feeling well while experiencing very mild symptoms." He also said he had started a course of Paxlovid.
