Moderna is a vaccine company that developed a vaccine against Covid 19 last year under Operation Warp Speed.
They may have boosters available then, but Moderna Executive said today that they do not know when it will be needed. He stated MAYBE by this winter.

He went on to state that Tests so far, based on cases, show Moderna still about 93% effective after six months, so has diminished only a couple of percentage points. Majority of even the more elderly people have only been covered for six months or less.

All speculation at this point.
