Lambda variant: Symptoms and vaccine effectiveness

UK’s National Health Service has said symptoms normally associated with any other variant of coronavirus like fever, loss of smell and taste, among others, are likely to be associated with Lambda variant as well.

According to UK health officials, there is currently no evidence that this variant causes more severe disease or renders the vaccines currently deployed any less effective. But Public Health England said it is carrying out laboratory testing to better understand the impact of mutations on the behaviour of the virus.

調査中だけど、ワクチンが効かないという証拠はない、と。

ワクチンが有効だといいね。はやく確証してほしい。
