We are safe only if everyone is safe

 All viruses, including SARS COVID-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 - develop over time. When a virus duplicates or copies itself, it sometimes changes a mild, which is normal for a virus. These changes are called "changes". A virus with one or more new mutations is known as a "variable" of the original virus.

What is the reason for changing the virus to a new form?

When a virus is circulating in a population on a large scale and causing many infections, the chances of the virus changing are increased. The more times a virus spreads, the more it replicates.

Most viral mutations have a minor effect on the virus's ability to cause infection and disease. But depending on where the changes are located in the genetic material of the virus, they can affect the characteristics of the virus, such as transmission (e.g., it can spread more easily) or severity (e.g. However, it can cause more and more serious illness

What effect do new strains of the virus have on vaccines?

Vaccines that are currently in development or have been approved are expected to provide at least some protection against new strains of the virus because the vaccine exhibits a broad immune response that includes a variety of antibodies. And cells. Therefore, changes or mutations in the virus do not make vaccines completely ineffective. If any of these vaccines prove to be less effective against one or more types, it may be possible to change the synthesis of the vaccine to protect against these variants.

Data collection and analysis on new forms of the COVID-19 virus are ongoing. Working closely with WHO researchers, health officials and scientists

Is trying to understand how these different conditions affect the behavior of viruses, including if they affect the effectiveness of vaccines. See the WHO Outbreak News for the latest information on the effects of different variants of the COVID-19 virus on the effectiveness of different vaccines. This is an area where the evidence remains preliminary and is growing rapidly.

As we learn more, we need to make every effort to prevent the spread of the virus, which could reduce the effectiveness of existing vaccines. Besides, manufacturers and programs using vaccines may have to fix the evolution of the COVID-19 virus: for example, vaccines may require multiple pressures when developing, such as booster shots. It May be needed, and other vaccines may change. May be required. Any kind of utility Vaccines also change. May be required. Trials must also be designed and maintained to allow for evaluating any changes in efficacy and must be of sufficient scale and diversity to enable clear interpretation of results. Studies of the effects of vaccines are also necessary to understand their effects Who is doing what to monitor and understand the effects of virus variants on vaccine efficacy?

 

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the WHO has been tracking mutations and variations. Our global SARS-CoV-2 laboratory network includes a dedicated virus evolution working group, which aims to quickly identify new changes and assess their potential effects. 

Research groups have performed genomic sequencing of the COVID-19 virus and shared this sequence on public databases, including GISAID. This global collaboration has allowed scientists to better track how the virus changes 

Is The WHO recommends that all countries, where possible, increase the sequence of the Quid 19 virus and share data to help monitor and respond to such epidemics.

The WHO has also established a SAARC-CO2 Risk Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for identifying, monitoring, and evaluating different types of concerns. This will include components such as monitoring, research on different types of anxiety, and diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of the effects of vaccines. This framework will help as a guide to changes for manufacturers and countries that may need COVID-19 vaccines.

How to prevent new strains of the COVID-19 virus?

In future stopping the spread at the source is key. Current transmission mitigation measures - including frequent hand washing, wearing masks, physical distance, good ventilation, and avoiding crowded or closed settings - continue to work against new variations by reducing the amount of viral transmission. Keep it and therefore reduce the chances of the virus. Replacing Accelerating vaccine manufacturing and distributing vaccines as quickly and widely as possible will also be important ways to protect them before they become infected with the virus, and new strains are at risk. To provide maximum protection against new species globally and to minimize the risk of transmission, vaccination of high-risk groups everywhere should be a priority. Furthermore, ensuring adequate access to COVID-19 vaccines is more important than ever to combat the epidemic. As more and more people get vaccinated, we expect that the circulation of the virus will decrease, resulting in less mutation.

Why is it necessary to get vaccinated even if there are new strains of the virus?

Vaccines are an important tool in the fight against CoVID-19, and we have clear health and life-saving benefits from using the tools we have. We should not shy away from vaccinating because we were concerned about new strains, and we should move forward with vaccinations even if vaccines against the different strains of the COVID-19 virus are far less effective. We need to use the tools we have, even as we continue to improve these tools. 

We are safe only if everyone is safe.
