A universal vaccine which will protect people against all future variants of the lethal coronavirus! How does that sound? Well, a team of Indian scientists claims to have designed a peptide vaccine which can be effective against all the variants of SARS-COV-2.
The team comprises scientists from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) in Berhampur and Kazi Nazrul University, Asansol.
As per reports published in national portals, their research has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Molecular Liquids that is devoted to fundamental aspects of structure, interactions and dynamic processes in simple, molecular and complex liquids.
One of the researchers said the vaccine has been developed using computational methods and was found to be highly stable, antigenic and immunogenic. The next stage would involve the production of the vaccine which would be followed by testing.
The big claim made is no other vaccine in the world has been designed so far to cope with all the Coronaviridae family viruses at a single time.
The rising cases of daily Covid-19 infections across the country is said to be majorly driven by the JN.1 sub variant. As of now, the country has reportedly detected about 145 cases of JN.1 variant from eight states.
If one draws parallels between the patterns, is there any relation between the surge of Covid-19 infections and the month December? Several studies have pointed out that the cold and dry condition provides a habitat to the Covid-19 virus.
