Kolkata, Dec 28 (UNI) The major problem the world faces today is the entry of the Omicron variant, which is more transmissible and able to evade the immune system, both antibodies as well as T-cells.

Omicron is resistant to the current vaccines, and thus the rush from all vaccine manufacturers to produce an Omicron specific vaccine by early 2022, informed Advisor- National Immunisation Programme, Dr Naresh Purohit here on Tuesday.
