President Biden said his administration was working with
officials at Pfizer Inc., Moderna Inc. and Johnson & Johnson to
develop contingency plans for vaccines or boosters in case they are
needed to combat the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
Mr. Biden said at this time officials don't think such
additional measures will be needed.
He also said he will soon release a strategy outline for how the
administration plans to deal with Covid-19 this winter, adding that
the plans would focus on more vaccinations, boosters and testing
rather than lockdowns.
"This variant is a cause for concern, not a cause for panic," he
said.
