WHO said - there is no evidence of reducing the effect of the vaccine from Omicron, the rapid spread of the new variant is worrying

There is a relief news from WHO regarding the new variant of Corona, Omicron. The World Health Organization said on Wednesday that the study conducted so far on Omicron has not found any evidence to reduce the effect of the current corona vaccine due to it. However, the WHO has confirmed Omicron's ability to spread rapidly and has expressed concern about it.

The WHO said that some mutations of the Omicron strain have been found to have the ability to rapidly spread the infection to other people, raising concerns about a widespread re-spread of the epidemic. The WHO has also expressed concern about Europe becoming the epicenter of the pandemic. However, according to the organization, so far only delta mutations have been found to be dominant for the rapidly increasing cases in European countries.

The Indian government is not able to take any decision regarding the booster shot of the corona vaccine, but Pakistan has started preparing for it. On Wednesday, Pakistan's National Command and Operation Center (NCOC) has approved the booster shot. At present, healthcare workers, people above 50 years of age and people with weak immunity will get this facility. The booster shot will be given free of cost 6 months after the second dose of the vaccine. The Pakistani government has not yet decided which company's vaccine will be used as a booster dose.
