Vaccines will handle ‘all viral flavours’, early evidence suggests – Sydney Morning Herald
Preliminary evidence suggests vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna will provide slightly-weaker-but-effective coverage against new variants of COVID-19.
The more contagious British variant of COVID-19 has been sequenced 50 times in Australia so far, and Brisbane was forced into a snap lockdown after a hotel quarantine cleaner in the city became infected with the strain.
Emerging evidence has suggested that the new variants slightly lower the effectiveness of both vaccine-induced and natural antibodies and British health authorities made headlines this week when they revealed concerns that existing vaccines might not work against the new variants.
