Covid-19 Indian Variant: The Indian variant B1617 of the corona virus is being described as very dangerous. There have been some reports that while it spreads more easily than before, in some cases it has managed to escape from the safety of the vaccine as well. In such a situation, questions have been raised about the effect of the corona vaccine on the Indian variant. Meanwhile, US experts say that the US approved anti-Covid-19 vaccines such as Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are effective against the B1617 form of the corona virus present in India.
Explain that India is facing the worst phase of epidemic due to this form of COVID-19. At the same time, according to a report of WHO, the Indian variant of COVID-19 has reached B.1.617 in 44 countries. This variant has been found in more than 4500 samples uploaded in an open access database from 44 countries in all 6 regions of WHO. It was first found in India in October 2020.
Variant of Concern
Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institute of Science in the United States, said the analysis was based on the latest data about the form of COVID-19 and the three major vaccines approved by the United States. Collins told the media that the statistics were coming and it was encouraging that the US-approved vaccines were effective against this form of Pfizer, Moderna, J&J B1617. WHO stated that the rate of infection in B1617 is high. Earlier this week, the institution described this variant as a ‘variant of Concern’.
Is the threat to the whole world
B.1.617, a triple mutant of the corona virus, has been identified in India. Triple mutation means that the three different strains of the corona virus have combined and changed into a new variant. According to a report, the World Health Organization believes that triple mutants of corona virus in India have become a threat not only here but to global health. Maria Van Kerkhov, WHO’s technical head for the COVID-19, said that the new variant of Corona in India, B.1.617, is more dangerous than before.
