Therefore, both vaccinated and those who have survived Covid 19 may also become infected with this variant of the virus, even more quickly.
The Indian variant of coronavirus B.1.617 shows two significant genetic changes in the surface protein: E484Q and L452R. These codes indicate the exact location of the genome change. Individual mutations have been known for a while: E484Q is similar to the E484K variant, which appeared in the British, South African and Brazilian variants. And the L452R mutation can already be found in the California variant of CAL.20C. However, in India, these two mutations are now appearing together for the first time, which is why there is often a reference of a double mutant to it.
