"The results are actually a harbinger to new variants that might be even more worrisome." "This suggests that omicron continues to evolve and continues to evolve in a way that becomes more transmissible and more effective at escaping vaccines and immune responses," he said. We recently reported vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates against symptomatic disease with the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant. Blood samples showed that antibodies meant to neutralize BA.4.6 were about twofold lower than antibodies for BA.5. Most, regardless of prior infection, had at least three doses of Covid vaccine. "This is essentially viral evolution on steroids."īarouch's study was small, including just 35 people who'd had either the Covid vaccine or an omicron infection. Effectiveness of Covid-19 Vaccines against the B.1.617.2 (Delta) Variant N Engl J Med. Shown is the effectiveness of one dose and two doses of the BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccines, or either vaccine (any), against symptomatic disease with the B.1.1.7 (alpha) or B.1.617.2 (delta) variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Dan Barouch, director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. "It's astonishing to see how the virus keeps mutating at such a rapid rate," said study author Dr. Ramsay, Effectiveness of Covid-19 Vaccines against the B.1.617.2 (Delta) Variant.
