But not all vaccines are similar. Covishield-Covaxin produces immunity through a different antigen presentation to our system
"There are different kinds of vaccines. Some are directed towards the spike protein of the virus which gets attached to the receptor. So, if changes happened there, vaccines might not be effective," Panda noted. According to reports quoting South African genomic scientists, more than 30 of the approximately 50 mutations were found in the spike protein. This incidentally is the structure used by the virus to enter the cells they are attacking.
With mRNA vaccines being directed towards spike protein and receptor interaction, Panda pointed out that such vaccines may need to be tweaked around this change. "But not all vaccines are similar. Covishield-Covaxin produces immunity through a different antigen presentation to our system," he explained.
