Research is still going on whether the Covid vaccine will be effective in front of the new variant of the coronavirus, Omicron, while on the other hand, this variant found in two people of Singapore has proved to fail not only with both the doses of the vaccine but also the booster dose. Both people found infected with the Omicron variant in Singapore have received a booster dose of the Covid vaccine.
Despite this, due to their being infected with Omicron, questions are now being raised about the ability of booster doses to give protection against the virus. The first case of Omicron found in Singapore is of a 24-year-old woman who works in the passenger service at the airport. This woman has been found to be Omicron positive in the initial test. Singapore's health ministry said this was Omicron's first local case in the city. The second case is of foreign infection. The person found infected in this had returned from Germany on 6 December and it is believed that he may have been hit by Omicron in Germany itself. he had also received a booster dose.
According to the Singapore ministry, both the infected persons are recovering at the National Center for Infectious Diseases. All his contacts will be quarantined for 10 days. The ministry says – In view of the speed of the spread of the Omicron virus, we are assuming that many other cases related to Omicron can also be found on the border of the country and among our community.
Vaccine maker
Pfizer-BioNTech earlier this week claimed the third dose of the vaccine, i.e.
the booster dose, was able to kill the Omicron variant. The company made this claim
on the basis of preliminary lab results of ongoing research into the effect of
the vaccine on the Omicron variant, but cases found in Singapore have raised
questions about these claims. Omicron or researchers
should have looked forward new scope in this regard.
Let us see but please follow protocol made earlier for Covid – 19 till the new arrival of solution for the Omicron.
Stay healthy, stay safe…
