Prelimninary Research Indicates Most of the World’s Vaccines Likely Won’t Prevent Infection From Omicron

Mon, 2021-12-20 11:07 — mike kraft

But only the Pfizer and Moderna shots, when reinforced by a booster, appear to have initial success at stopping infections, and these vaccines are unavailable in most of the world.
