Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn expert on the coronavirus pandemic says officials currently assess that the existing vaccines protect against the Indian variant.
Eran Segal, a computational biologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science, tells Channel 12 the variant “contains 13 mutations, the most important of which we are familiar with from other variants.
