“The new variants, such as BA4 and BA5, do not follow the common rule of respiratory viruses, that is, they mainly spread during the cold period in the autumn-winter period, and it appears that these new variants will also cause disease in the virus expert,” said the virus expert. Highly prevalent variants are able to penetrate both the immunity provided by the vaccine and the immunity provided by previous infections.” However, Rosvay said it is not necessary to renew the vaccine because symptoms are much milder than in previous Omicron variants.
