Research in the United States has shown that the corona vaccine, developed by Pfizer and the German company BioNTech, is also effective against new strains of the corona virus discovered in South Africa and the United Kingdom.
The new strain of Corona, which has emerged in South Africa and the United Kingdom, has proved more contagious and harmful, prompting experts in the United States to sit back.
Fortunately, preliminary results from research by researchers at Pfizer and the University of Texas at Dallas in the United States have been encouraging. Twenty volunteers took part in the study, which showed resistance to vaccines against new strains of the virus.
The results of the study also showed that despite the emergence of new strains of corona, the effectiveness and potency of the corona vaccine has not diminished, and the Pfizer vaccine is effective against 16 different mutations in the corona.
Earlier, there were fears that a mutation in a new strain of corona in South Africa could be more resistant to the vaccine.
On the other hand, many experts, including Liu Poon Litman, a professor at the School of Public Health at the University of Hong Kong, say the research is limited and uses a new laboratory-developed corona that cannot be 100% replicated.
These experts also say that despite all the concerns and precautions, the results of the research are encouraging and another positive sign is that the Pfizer vaccine is being used all over the world and people are getting protection against the vaccine.
Mike Ryan, a senior official at the World Health Organization, also expressed hope that research into the new strain of gua corona was under way, but that the initial results of the limited-scale research were encouraging.
