Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Dec 8 (Reuters) - BioNTech and Pfizer (PFE.N) said on Wednesday a three-shot course of their COVID-19 vaccine was able to neutralise the new Omicron variant in a laboratory test and they could deliver an upgraded vaccine in March 2022 if needed. The German and U.S. companies said two doses of their vaccine resulted in significantly lower neutralising antibodies but a third dose boosted those antibodies by a factor of 25. The companies suggested that two doses may still protect against severe disease. BioNTech and Pfizer are the first manufacturers of a COVID vaccine to issue an official update on the efficacy of their shot against Omicron.

Alannah 2,988 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 It makes me confident that the hardest part of the vaccine manufacturing was developing the base, much like the flu shot. I know this was being said about Delta, but science wins again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfizer is just announcing theirs works against the variant but it’s a given that Moderna should work as well probably even more so.
