DOH says vaccines still effective vs Indian COVID-19 variant

However, she clarified that the variant’s mutations will not render the vaccines completely useless.

“Pero hindi naman sinasabi na totally zero at mawawala na po ang epekto ng bakuna sa inyo, so ito po ay makakaapekto pero ang sinasabi pa rin ng eksperto, gagana pa pa rin ang proteksyon na ibibigay satin ng bakuna so tuloy-tuloy lang po ang pagbabakuna natin.” Vergeire added that mutation is part of the cycle of a virus, and it will continue to mutate as long as it finds a host.

“That’s the normal cycle of the virus. Kaya po tayo, para po mas mapigilan ang pasok ng mga variants, and mapigilan pa ang pag-mutate ng virus, pababain natin ang mga kaso para wala siyang mahahanap na host,” Vergeire explained.on Tuesday, but both have already recovered and returned home, according to authorities.
