Experts recommend getting vaccinated to avoid the Kraken

The new variant of the Covid 19 virus, Kraken, spreads rapidly, but it does not have high lethality. Experts recommend the second booster dose to combat it. And they also ensure that, despite the opening of the borders, the risk of cases arriving from China is minimal.

The main feature of this genetic variation known as XBB 1.5, and more commonly as Kraken, is that it isHe is able to evade the immune systems of those who had been vaccinated against Omicron.

For this reason, health professionalsrecommend vaccination against this variant, which already accounts for forty percent of Covid 19 cases in the United States.

Another concern is the increase in infections in China and the decision by its government to open its borders three years after recognizing the pandemic that emerged in the city of Wuhan. However, everything indicates that the chance of the Chinese variants reaching us will be minimal.

The pandemic has caused 660 million infections worldwide and the deaths of more than six and a half million people, although these figures refer to reported cases only.
