A report on new variables has highlighted concerns about its ease of transmission and widespread mutations in protein spike. However, the WHO is confident that COVID-19 vaccine development can adapt to changes.
“We have no evidence so far that the vaccine will not be as effective. But that can happen. Check the flu. We change the composition of the vaccine twice a year, for the hemisphere north and south, and we can give vaccines very, very quickly to deal with the biggest flu outbreaks every year, so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to on vaccines against COVID-19, even down the line, if this virus grows to a point where our vaccines are starting to lose effectiveness, we can change those vaccines and I believe that we can change these vaccines quickly, “said Mike Ryan, head of the WHO emergency program.
At the same time, as new variables of the virus has triggered an increase in infections, Israel plans to suspend its COVID-19 vaccine. The huge infectious foreign fluctuations are currently flooding Israeli hospitals with severe cases.
“We’re in a war with very low intelligence, which means things are changing as we go. What I’m talking about right now is something we didn’t expect and the reality is that we hope that the vaccine will be effective against a variety of mutations that are out there, so if that is correct and as it is now, it is thought to be the most relevant Moderna and Pfizer, studied the known mutations and the vaccine appears to be effective, “said Yoav Kisch, Israel ‘s deputy health minister.
The new strain mutant it was discovered in the UK in mid-December. It has forced a number of countries to impose travel restrictions on anyone coming from the UK. Last week Prime Minister Boris Johnson acknowledged that the new variant could be linked to higher mortality rates.
