Experts say no type of COVID-19 mutation has completely "overcome" the current vaccine.

The Delhi Portal News ofCase Western Reserve University (CWRU) Quote of theexpertThat said, there are currently studies that have proven thatVaccineThat humans are still todayCan be used against viral infectious diseasesNew corona (Covid-19) Of all strains that are epidemic in more than 100 million people around the world.

Mark Cameron, expert researcher from the Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine of the University Conducted research on COVID-19 And other infectious diseases, said: “Unfortunately, the latest coronavirus has mutated several times. Which makes it seem like an advantage Because it can make humans more easily infected Even with less infection Fortunately, many vaccine companies have closely studied these virus strains. And yet, there is no indication that these new strains can escape from the activity of our current vaccines. ”

Cameron, who is involved in the pre-crisis care research team (rapid-response) when the SARS outbreak (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – SARS) in Toronto, Canada in the early 2000s said: “In fact, the big vaccine maker Moderna just released data on Monday. Jan) indicating that the blood from the vaccine It continues to completely neutralize the activity of the novel coronavirus strain found in the UK called ‘B. 1.1.7’ (B.1.1.7). ”

“But the vaccine that we have is completely ineffective against the coronavirus strain found in South Africa, or ‘B. 1.351’ (B.1.351). “People who are already vaccinated still have to protect themselves from the virus,” he said. “Obviously, more studies need to be done to understand the extent and duration of immunization against these viruses.”

For concerns that the new virus may be more dangerous as it can spread more easily or cause more damage after infection. The expert researchers commented that “We don’t know for sure yet.”

But, he added, it is possible that the new species is finding its way back to attack the weakest of humans. With the ability to spread enormously It is important for everyone to continue to protect themselves to avoid the spread of the epidemic, as usual, while vaccination is accelerated.

Meanwhile, Cameron pointed out that Pharmaceutical companies are developing vaccines against all new strains of the virus, saying: “These vaccines will contain a message. Which when injected into the body Our cells read that message to perform a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein that tells our immune system how to respond afterwards, ”he added. The protein spike of COVID-19 There is an unusual change. Your body can modify the same message in the vaccine. To be able to easily meet the new virus strains when necessary. “

On Wednesday afternoon (Jan. 27), the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systematic Science and Engineering (CSSE) reported that the number of COVID-19 cases was reported. Globally, it spiked more than 100 million, covering more than 2.1 million deaths.
