How much protection does the current batch of COVID-19 vaccines provide us? Would you need a booster shot for new variants? What does science and evidence tell us about mass gatherings and the spread of COVID-19?
WHO’s Chief Scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan explains in Science in 5 this week.
Cet article fait partie d’une série de notes explicatives sur la mise au point et la distribution de vaccins.
While COVID-19 virus continues to circulate and evolve, new variants are constantly emerging. Most of the current COVID-19 cases are driven by the circulation of the BA.5 subvariant of Omicron. The COVID-19 vaccines are being updated with Omicron variants to provide broader immunity against circulat...

The NY Times variant tracker is perhaps the most accessible and relevant publication for non-molecular biologists and the general public
Each coronavirus contains nearly 30,000 letters of RNA. This genetic information allows the virus to infect cells and hijack them to make new viruses.
n light of the potential risk posed by SARS-CoV-2 variants, in January 2021 WHO organized an ad hoc consultation to discuss the development of an R&D agenda in response to existing and emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.
The key objectives were to identify the critical research questions related to var...

This document aims to describe a minimum set of surveillance activities recommended at the national level to detect and monitor the relative prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 variants and outline a set of activities for the characterization and assessment of risk posed by these variants. A set of indicators ...
21 January 2022
The overall threat posed by Omicron largely depends on four key questions: (i) how transmissible the variant is; (ii) how well vaccines and prior infection protect against infection, transmission, clinical disease and death; (iii) how virulent the variant is compared to other varian...
