(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 29 – Vaccines guarantee a certain efficacy even against the Omicron variant. Indeed, it is “unlikely” that the virus “escapes entirely”. This is what the scientific director of Humanitas Alberto Mantovani says in an interview with ‘La Stampa’. The immunologist recalls how “in the face of other worrying variants, such as the South African Beta and the Indian Delta, the vaccines offered reduced but significant protection”.
It is important for the expert to make the anti-Covid recall. “The third dose could provide good protection for Omicron and better prepare for an eventual updated fourth dose.” The therapies could also be updated: “Monoclonal antibodies are bound to the virus and therefore it is occurring,” he explains.
At the moment it is “difficult to talk about herd immunity – continues the director – but the goal of vaccinating 90% of Italians does not change”. (HANDLE).
