- Delta
- Omircon
In November 2021, Omicron was quickly discovered in many nations after South African scientists informed the WHO of an abrupt rise in COVID-19 cases in Gauteng province, coinciding with the variant’s detection.
What Now?
Within the last two years, living with the deadly virus Covid-19 has now become the new normal. Without a doubt, the virus taught us the value of every breath we take. The pandemic has been declared over by many countries, but many others believe the opposite. It is still the case that many nations lack adequate funding for vaccination coverage and well-built healthcare systems for their citizens. It remains a pandemic until and unless everyone has the same privilege to live with it.
Where Are We Heading?
Covid-19 has altered the daily lives of everyone, especially when it comes to working culture, healthcare, going out on weekends with family and friends, and shopping. The virus has made everything go digital, from consulting a doctor on a video call to watching your family celebrations on a zoom call. The pandemic has changed us permanently. It lead to a shift in the workplace, but even after the situation is under control, not many companies find it feasible to commute daily to the offices. Instead, employees are being given a choice to switch their shifts between working online or offline.
Why Booster Doses Are Important?
Vaccines have proven to reduce the impact and how the virus affects everybody, but the immunity to minimize the adverse effects is not long-lasting. With the evolving variants, the protection with primary vaccine doses might get reduced over time. Therefore to fight against the ongoing pandemic, governments of different nations have introduced booster doses that help restore immunity to fight against the evolving virus. Healthcare professionals are initiating getting updated booster doses as it is intended to improve resistance to the omicron version that is already in circulation.
