As per recent reports, New variants of coronavirus are emerging that are more infectious than the ones that started the pandemic. The head of the UK’s genetic surveillance program has predicted that One of these, first found in Kent, could become the world’s dominant strain. There are concerns vaccines may not work quite so well against some variants. There is no evidence that any of them cause much more serious illness for most people who become infected.

As with the original version, the risk is highest for people who are elderly or have significant underlying health conditions.

For the UK variant, there is some research suggesting it may be associated with a 30% higher risk of death. The evidence is not reliable, and the data is not uncertain though.

Measures such as washing your hands, keeping your distance from other people, and wearing a face-covering will still help prevent infections. Because the new variants appear to spread more easily it is important to be extra vigilant.

A prominent database states that it was more than 85% effective at preventing serious illness, but only 66% effective overall, when moderate cases were included, when considering cases at least 28 days after vaccination. Results from vaccine trials conducted in the US, South Africa, and Brazil found its efficacy against the worst outcomes of the virus was “similarly high” but overall protection was lower in South Africa and Brazil, where virus variants have become dominant. 

After the shocking news of 500,000 COVID-19 death from the United states Notably, there were no deaths among participants who had received the vaccine and no hospital admissions after 28 days after vaccination. An external committee of experts will meet on Friday to recommend whether the FDA should authorize the vaccine, possibly adding to a coming surge in vaccine availability in the US.

At present, the countries that have ordered the Johnson and Johnson jab includes the European Union has recently ordered 200m doses followed by Canada’s 38m doses and the UK has booked 30m doses for domestic usage. On the other hand, the Covax nations had ordered 500m doses so far.

From the govt of the United States the White House official stated that the administration anticipated distributing at least three million doses of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine for next week, should it receive emergency approval from the FDA. The company responded by saying it plans to deliver 20 million doses in total by late march, in line with an agreement to supply the US with 100m doses by the end of June. It is a matter of fact that not only the vaccine requires fewer doses than its two-shot Pfizer and Moderna counterparts, but it will also require fewer vaccine appointments and medical staff as a result. To date, over 65 million Americans have already vaccinated and nearly 1.3 million doses are being administrated across the country each day. On the other side, new reported cases, and deaths from covid-19 in the United States have all been on the decline over the past few weeks. Whereas the public health experts are in the opinion that the continuous mutation of the virus can still threaten the progress in the nation.
