UK minister: Vaccine makers facing 4,000 variants
By EUobserver
There are around 4,000 variants of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 around the world so all vaccine manufacturers are trying to improve their vaccines, the British minister on vaccine development said. "It's very unlikely that the current vaccine won't be effective on the variants whether in Kent or other variants especially when it comes to severe illness and hospitalisation," Nadhim Zahawi told Sky News on Thursday.
