One SARS-CoV-2 variant found in India has been dubbed the triple mutant variant.
Experts say the name is misleading, and it is not currently considered a variant of concern by the CDC.
The available COVID-19 vaccines still offer protection against this and other variants.
India s battle with a second wave of COVID-19 is making headlines with record-breaking daily cases and a rising death toll. The country recently surpassed more than 345,000 new COVID-19 cases in a single day, the biggest total recorded globally since the pandemic began.
It s a grim reminder that the pandemic is far from over, even as the U.S. hits promising vaccination milestones.

OLATHE, Kan. â A father in the Olathe school district said his 10-year-old son should not have to wear a mask in school.
Josh Schneider spoke at a hearing that he requested under S.B. 40 with the Olathe Public Schools Board of Education that allows him to challenge the mask mandate.
Schneider said wearing a mask all day is too much for children to handle and that doing so causes headaches and breathing problems for his son. He added that his son already contracted COVID-19 earlier in the year and thinks his risk of contracting it again or spreading it is low.
