Three doses of Pfizer and Bio-Tech 'effective' against Omicron

BioN Tech and Pfizer, the major pharmaceutical companies that make coronavirus vaccines, have stated that three doses of coronavirus will be effective against the Omicron's variant.

According to the AFP news agency, German and American pharmaceutical companies BioNTech and Pfizer have stated that two doses of the vaccine may not be effective against the Omicron variant, but a third dose may be effective.

Preliminary research has shown that the blood serum of vaccinated people showed that the third dose produced the same amount of antibodies against the omega crone as the second dose produced against the initial variant.

For the laboratory study, blood samples were taken from about 20 people who had received two doses of the vaccine.

However, the results of this study have not yet been reviewed by other scientists.

"We still have to be careful and wait, but booster doses will definitely help weaken the Omicron variant," said virologist Angela Rasmussen.

The head of the United Nations World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said on Wednesday that the OmiCron's variant was more contagious than previous strains of the coronavirus and could be dangerous to vaccinated people or those who have had the coronavirus. ۔

He did admit, though, that their numbers were insufficient to defeat O'Malley.

Although preliminary research confirms that the Omicron variant is less severe, it spreads faster than the Delta variant, which means it has the potential to make more people sick.

Uğur Şahin, head of the pharmaceutical company BioNTech, says the right way to fight the virus in the winter is to keep the second and third doses of the vaccine to a minimum.

The UK has started giving booster doses at least three months after the second dose.

Bio-Tech claims that a particular vaccine to combat Omicron will be ready by March, but that it will need regulatory approval.
