It all depends on the number of doses performed. According to the studies available on the subject, simple vaccination - that is to say the injection of two doses - would not be sufficient to neutralize the new variant.
Imperial College London, for example, estimated that the level of protection in this case did not exceed 20%.
A conclusion shared the day before by the Institut Pasteur, after analyzing the blood of people who have received two doses of Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines. Result: “Five months after vaccination, the antibodies present in the blood are no longer able to neutralize Omicron. "
"The wave is now and the vaccine against Omicron, if it is developed, will not be there for months, recalls Jean-Daniel Lelièvre.
The finding of poorer vaccine efficacy "comes at the worst time" , observes Jocelyn Raude, lecturer in health psychology at EHESP.
