Regular booster vaccines are the future in battle against Covid-19: British scientist

CAMBRIDGE (REUTERS) - Regular booster vaccines against the coronavirus will be needed because of mutations that make it more transmissible and better able to evade human immunity, the head of Britain s effort to sequence the virus  genomes said. The coronavirus, which has killed 2.65 million people globally since it emerged in China in late 2019, mutates around once every two weeks, slower than influenza or HIV, but enough to require tweaks to vaccines. Professor Sharon Peacock, who heads Covid-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK), which has sequenced half of all the coronavirus genomes mapped globally so far, said international cooperation was needed in the cat and mouse battle with the virus.

The coronavirus situation in the UK is quite “contained” but we have to be “vigilant” and make sure it stays under control, an expert has said. Professor Sharon Peacock, director of the Covid-19 Genomics UK Consortium (Cog-UK), said the virus may be behaving in a similar way around the world, but no one knows what might happen in the future. However, she anticipates that Covid-19 vaccines will be able to cope with changes to the virus.
