First, if you’ve managed to dodge COVID-19 so far, your luck may have run out. The XBB sub-variant is a singularly successful escape artist.
The combination of two strains of the omicron variant has at least seven mutations along the spike of the virus, which makes it harder for antibodies made by vaccines to recognise and repel it.
It’s more “immune evasive” than previous strains.
