Covid vaccines ‘may be ineffective against South African mutation’
South African form, pretty substantial changes in the structure of the protein
My gut feeling is the vaccine will be still effective against the Kent strain.
I don’t know about the South African strain – there’s a big question mark about that
South African strain, 501.V2, two locations in Britain
it’s increased the infectiousness, probably by increasing its ability to bind to the human cells
Perfectly possible, to adjust vaccines in a matter of weeks if necessary
