How Effective Are Vaccines
A team of experts conducted a study on the ongoing corona infection in many countries of the world. In which researchers found that the XFG variant, also known as Stratus, has two spike mutations. These help to avoid antibodies targeting corona. One of these mutations also helps it evade a broad range of antibodies, making it easier for the immune system to neutralise it and spread the infection.
