New York, Mar 4 (IANS): The effectiveness of mRNA vaccines and antibody therapy is reduced against all three subvariants of Omicron, according to new research.
The study by scientists at Columbia University and the University of Hong Kong showed that only one currently authorised antibody treatment retains its activity against all Omicron subvariants.
Omicron is a highly transmissible variant of SARS-CoV-2 that has caused the biggest surge in Covid cases so far in many countries.
