Virologists and politicians are worried – the new corona mutation B.1.1.529 has already arrived in Germany. The question: do our vaccines work?
More and more people in Germany are infected with the corona virus, the intensive care units in hospitals have long been overcrowded and the new infections simply never end. But things are still getting a little better – because not enough with the fact that the delta variant is now predominant in Germany, no, there is now a supposedly more dangerous corona mutation. This could become a challenge for our previous vaccines.
That is why the first vaccine manufacturers have already announced how far they are with the development of new, adapted vaccines, reports echo24.de *.
B.1.1.529 – colloquially “Omicron” – is a variant of the coronavirus that was first discovered in Botswana and puts the experts on alert. Because it shows massive mutations – over 30 of them in the spike proteins, which are responsible for the pathogen being able to attach to the human body. * echo24.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
