Recommendation Against Booster Shots

The U.S FDA was recently advised by a drug approval and rejection panel that there are no significant benefits to booster shots for the Pfizer vaccine. Given the similar efficacies of the three vaccine options, the panel’s recommendation is thought to possibly extend to both J&J’s and Moderna’s vaccines. Despite the advisory panel’s decision being nonbinding, the FDA has historically typically followed its panels’ advice.

Impact of News on AVIR Stock

Investors are banking on the lack of booster shots resulting in a continued spread of the coronavirus. AVIR stock’s AT-527 is being developed as an orally administered therapeutic for patients who are already infected. With the world hurtling towards universal immunizations, the company is keen to supplement the fight against the pandemic with a much needed weapon. The treatment will serve to curb the symptoms and risk for those who end up contracting the disease despite being vaccinated.

Scope of AVIR Stock’s AT-527

With the elimination of a possible third rough of inoculations, investors are rationalizing the rise in Covid-19 cases. With vaccines having no effect once a patient has already infected, the more symptomatic demographic of infected patients must be treated somehow. AT-527 is poised to contend with Remdesivir as a standard and more effective treatment option. Updates on the Phase 3 trial of AT-527 as a treatment for Covid-19 are still some months away.

Future Outlook for AVIR Stock

The company reported a promising quarter, consolidated by the news of the inefficacy of booster shots. Accordingly, AVIR stock is poised to capitalize on the scope of opportunities arising from the pending announcement by the FDA. Current and potential investors are hopeful that management will be able to effectively leverage the resources at their disposal. This is hoped to facilitate consistent and organic growth in shareholder value over the long term.
