COVID's new Omicron sub-lineages can dodge immunity from past infection, study says

Summary by Ground News

Two new Omicron subvariants are able to evade antibodies from previous infections and vaccinations, according to a new South African study.

The study, led by the Africa Health Research Institute in South Africa, found that the blood samples of the vaccinated people showed a threefold drop in antibody production when tested against the two sublineages.
