A fourth coronavirus jab may be needed to improve levels of protection, a vaccine boss has said.
Chief Executive of Moderna, Stephane Bancel, explained that another vaccine this autumn would increase immunity as the efficiency of booster doses is likely to decline over the next few months.

According to the latest figures from the UK Health Security Agency, for those above 65-years-old, protection against hospitalisation remains at about 90 per cent three months after the third jab.
Protection against severe disease from only two doses of the vaccine drops to about 70 per cent after three months and may be as low as 50 per cent six months after vaccination.
