Vaccines For Omicron Variant

Scientists at the institute have developed a new nanovaccine that shows promise in providing universal protection against all major Covid-19 variants.

The new Covid-19 variant, XBB.1.16 is responsible for the surge in cases in India. According to the Health Ministry data, India has reported a total of 5,880 covid cases in the last 24 hours.

Amazon has updated its policy following the availability of COVID-19 vaccines and revised guidance from the US’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

People who are vaccinated and have had a booster shot against Covid-19 recover from symptoms from the Omicron variant more than three days earlier than those with the Delta variant, a study said Friday.

The government credited wide vaccination coverage for a fall in the number of deaths. "Active case numbers and corresponding deaths are much lower in this wave," it said and pointed out that the severity of infections is also relatively lower.

Fourth doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines against Covid-19 are only "partially" effective for the Omicron variant of the virus, the authors of an Israeli trial said Monday.

The Omicron variant of Covid-19 is dangerous, and especially so for those who have not been vaccinated against the disease, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.

WHO experts warned Tuesday that simply repeating booster doses of the original Covid vaccines was not a viable strategy against emerging variants, and called for new jabs that better protect against transmission.

With the high transmissibility of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, India is likely to witness a sharp spike in the number of cases in the coming days, however, following COVID appropriate behaviour and vaccination could help contain the spread of th

A top epidemiology and communicable diseases expert on Monday said people should get themselves vaccinated at the earliest and not sit back thinking the Omicron variant of COVID is milder as the virus will hunt for the "unvaccinated

There will be no mix-and-match of vaccines for the crucial third dose to be given in view of the Omicron variant that is rapidly spreading in the country, senior health ministry sources told NDTV today.

The Prime Minister said that as people prepare to welcome the new year with hope and celebration, it's also a time to be careful as the highly contagious Omicron variant is rapidly pushing up Covid infections.

Austria should offer some healthcare staff and other key workers a fourth COVID-19 jab, the National Vaccination Board said in updated guidance published late on Thursday, citing risks from the fast-spreading Omicron variant of the coronavirus.

Israel will administer a fourth dose of coronavirus vaccine to people over the age of 60 and medical personnel, becoming the first nation in the world to do so on such a widespread basis as the omicron variant barrels across the world.

Governments globally have tightened social mobility restrictions and made urgent pleas for citizens to vaccinate as Omicron upends reopening plans that many hoped would herald the start of a post-pandemic era in 2022.
