Vaccines will handle ‘all viral flavours’, early evidence suggests – Sydney Morning Herald

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.
