The new COVID-19 variant XE is a mutation of BA.1 and BA.2 variants of Omicron strains.
We should prepare and hope that things should not be as bad as in the United Kingdom: Dr Randeep Guleria.
When and how Omicron evolved will not be easy to answer, but certainly, the mutations acquired by this variant have scientists scratching their heads.
Mumbai had earlier banned large gatherings for 48 hours on December 11 due to the rising number of cases of Omicron in the city.
Based on early findings, mRNA vaccines appear to be more effective as a booster dose compared to other COVID vaccines, such as AstraZeneca.
Along with Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Chandigarh, the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka too have added to the nation’s Omicron tally with one case each.
Maharashtra recorded a total of seven new cases of Omicron variant, taking the total tally in the state to 17.
Any of these vaccines given as a booster should be effective in reducing your risk of infection, regardless of which vaccine you initially received.
Early data from South Africa suggests that the people who have been infected by other variants of COVID-19 earlier and those who have taken the vaccine may still easily be reinfected by the virus.
