The Omicron variant of Covid19 was neutralized by 3 doses of the vaccine.
This was reported by the giant Pfizer-BionTech after carrying out tests in the laboratory.
According to the Bloomberg Agency, the third dose of the vaccine guarantees a level of protection similar to that observed after two doses against the original virus and the variants known so far.
This is the first official confirmation and follows a preliminary study already carried out in South Africa.
The first batches of the updated Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine against the Omicron variant "are expected to be ready for delivery within 100 days" and "may be delivered in March 2022". Other variant-specific vaccines were also tested, which produced very strong neutralization titers and a tolerable safety profile.
