…BQ.1.1 and XBB
As has been repeatedly stated, BQ.1.1 and XBB are subspecies of Omicron that have been assessed globally to lead to a new wave of outbreaks later this year.
The main reasons that have been proven are immune resistance And the ability to expand the outbreak is higher than the previous epidemic species, both BA.2 and BA.5.
With XBB the most immune-resistant, while BQ.1.1 is also very immune-resistant.
Most recently, Cao Y and colleagues from Peking University The results of the study were published last night. It reinforces that both BQ.1.1 and XBB are highly immune resistant.
However, a comparative study showed that The level of immunity from a person who has been vaccinated with three doses of CoronaVac and has previously been infected with the Omicron BA.1 strain of COVID-19 is not sufficient to deal with BQ.1.1 and XBB.
In addition, even people who have been vaccinated and infected before Over 6 months (7.5 months), the level of immunity is significantly reduced.
The results of this study of the Peking University team It reinforces us to recognize the importance of constant self-defense.
First, wearing a mask correctly during daily use is necessary and will reduce the risk of spreading infection to a large extent
Two countries should procure newer, bivalent vaccines that boost the immune system. for the people in a timely manner
reconfirm that covid-19 virus not a common cold not seasonal flu
Infection does not end but chill and recover, but there is a chance of severe illness and death. And most importantly, it is at risk of long-term Long-term COVID problems.
Vaccination reduces the risk of severe illness, death, and long lasting COVID, but its effectiveness decreases over time.
Therefore, defensive behavior care about one’s own health routinely It’s something that needs to be done. Along with getting an effective booster vaccination Protecting yourself from infection is best.
