The World Health Organization (WHO) has also accepted the research that fully vaccinated people have increased immunity against the delta variant from Omicron infection. WHO Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan tweeted that Omicron infection can increase immunity against Delta, provided you are vaccinated.
He said that if you have not taken the doses of the corona vaccine, then the new variant will not generate immunity. This means that infection is not a substitute for vaccination, as some are suggesting.
Research on Omicron and immunity was done during the peak in South Africa
Scientists from the Health Research Institute in South Africa did research related to Omicron infection and immunity. In November and December last year, when the Omicron wave was at its peak, samples of 23 patients infected with this variant were taken.
Out of 23 patients, 14 needed to be taken to the hospital and only one had to be given oxygen support. Of these 23 patients, 10 were already vaccinated, but they were infected with Omicron. 10 patients who had been infected with the delta variant in the previous wave still succumbed to Omicron.
Lead scientist Alex Siegel said after research that people affected by Delta can get Omicron infection, but patients after being Omicron cannot get Delta infection. However, this is possible only if the patient is fully vaccinated.
An important point of research - life will be easier after the wave of Omicron
Another important result of this research has come to the fore. Scientists say that although the rate of Omicron infection is very fast, the risk of hospitalization and death from it is very low. Scientists have said that Omicron is much milder than previous variants of the corona and does not make people seriously ill.
After its wave, some changes can be seen in the era of the epidemic. It may happen that the obstacles in our common life due to Corona will end. Currently, Omicron has replaced the Delta with the dominant variant in many countries.
Omicron is too big a challenge for unvaccinated people
Alex Siegel said that people who do not get the vaccine can get a serious infection from Omicron. This increases their chances of getting hospitalized. Similarly, people are also at risk of death from the new variant. Also, they are unable to develop immunity against Delta when they are Omicron. It is very important to get the vaccine if you want to avoid corona.
