A coronavirus variant that first appeared in South Africa and has now been spotted in more than a dozen other countries might partially evade the vaccines, researchers said during a presentation Monday.
Researchers in South Africa and elsewhere are studying whether it can evade antibodies created by the vaccines. Study results are expected within the next week or two. “When we see mutations like this specifically in those two regions, it’s a strong indication that the virus has managed to evade neutralizing antibodies – neutralizing antibodies are the types of antibodies that stop a virus from being able to infect a cell," Moore said.
“It creates more opportunities for the virus to learn how to be resistant to the vaccine,” Paul Bieniasz, a virologist at the Rockefeller University told CNN last week. “It’s going to be, over time, likely chipping away at vaccine efficacy, but we’re not going to fall off a cliff tomorrow.”
