Moderna Chief Medical Officer Dr. Paul Burton also tells people that 'If ever there was a time to get vaccinated and get boosted, it's now.'

Moderna is expecting to have data on its vaccine specific for the highly contagious Omicron variant in two months, a company official told CNN Philippines.

"We think probably, we can start producing middle of the year, scale up production. So from June-July onwards into the autumn, we should be able to begin manufacturing," he added. Despite this, Burton emphasized that the best protection comes from primary vaccination, plus a booster dose. Citing observations in other countries, getting these shots would lead to a 97% reduced chance of getting hospitalized or even dying from the infection.
