Covid has not disappeared, FLiRT is gaining strength in the world. The vaccine may not protect against a new mutation of the virus, warns Prymula | Czechia

The covid was almost always forgotten, so according to the data of the Ministry of Health, in the last week there was not a single new infection in Esk per hundred thousand inhabitants. A disease that brought the whole world to a standstill all those years ago, but never disappeared.

Scientists have now discovered another variant of covid, to which the current version of the vaccine is most likely not suitable. According to epidemiologists Roman Prymula and Roman Chlbek, it is clear that FLiRT, as the scientists named the new mutation, will soon be the dominant covid variant. I will ask how the vacationers will be prepared for the autumn waves before the new variant of protection.

“I think that the manufacturers, based on the recommendations of the European Medicines Agency and the World Health Organization, will prepare an autumn variant of the vaccine, which will react in such a way that the antibodies are aimed at the fact that this new variant will take over dominance,” Chlbek told the Lidovky.cz server.

Prymula is a sheep in terms of caution. According to him, ready-made vehicles began to be created at a time when the FLiRT variant was not known.
