(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 29 – “The effectiveness of current vaccines against hospitalization and serious illness is destined to remain strong”. This is what Professor Salim Abdool Karim, a well-known South African epidemiologist underlines in a press conference, specifying that in any case it may take two to four weeks for more data.
“What we do know – and this comes from many different studies – is that even over time the protection of vaccines against variants has remained pretty good, above 90%,” he added according to South African media reports.
Although more research is needed on this and on the effect of the variant on severe disease and transmissibility – he added – “there are many things we can extrapolate at this point on the basis of mutations familiar to us from previous variants”: diagnostics should ” still work well “, although we can” expect greater transmissibility “.
