New coronavirus variant may bypass existing immunity: AIIMS Professor

AIIMS Centre for Community Medicine Professor Dr Sanjay K Rai warned of the B.1.1.529 variant of coronavirus. While speaking to ANI, he said, “It's a new variant. Wait and watch, we don't know its overall infectivity but a probability is that it may bypass your existing immunity either acquired through vaccine or natural infection. If it bypasses, it'll be a serious issue.”
