Moderna’s chief executive officer Stephane Bancel said the company hopes to have a combined flu and COVID vaccine ready for 2023, but virus experts speaking on a panel Monday poured cold water on the possibly of the pandemic shifting to an endemic phase this year.

Bancel said in addition to an omicron vaccine that they hope will be ready for regulatory scrutiny by March, the company MRNA, -8.85% hopes to have its combination flu/COVID jab ready by autumn of 2023. And this would go some ways toward breaking down resistance among individuals to vaccines.

“Our goal is to be able to have a single annual booster so that we don’t have compliance issues where people don’t want to get to get two to three shots a winter, but to get one dose where they get a booster for Corona and a booster for flu and RSV to make sure people get their vaccines,” said Bancel in a virtual World Economic Forum panel on Monday.
