The new Omicron variant of coronavirus has reportedly got over 30 mutations in the spike protein region giving it the potential to develop a immunoescape mechanism, and thus the efficacy of vaccines against it needs to be evaluated critically, AIIMS chief Dr Randeep Guleria has said. The presence of spike protein facilitates a virus’ entry into the host cell and is responsible for making it transmissible and causing infection. “The new variant of coronavirus reportedly has got more than 30 mutations at the spike protein region and therefore has the potential of developing immunoescape mechanisms. As most vaccines (work by) forming antibodies against the spike protein, so many mutations at the spike protein region may lead to a decreased efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines,” AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria told PTI. In such a scenario, the efficacy of vaccines including those in use in India needs to be evaluated “critically”, he said. The future course of action will depend on what mo

Nazeer Foods Gurgaon serves good food in my opinion. Though, I do have my complaints with them. For the initial launch, their portion sizes have reduced but the prices remain the same. This is unethical and doesn’t go well. Zomato also has numerous complaints about their food and packaging. And, as usual the restaurant or franchise owner doesn’t seem to take notice of moments of truth. Here is a rundown of what works with this outlet. Mutton Nihari – Mutton Nihari portion size has definitely shrunk. They use smaller containers than the usual ones for delivery. Size of Nalli in the Nihari has also shrunk.

With Europe the epicenter of the pandemic once again and countries like the US, too, seeing a surge in Covid-19 cases, a growing concern in India is whether its large pool of unvaccinated children between 2 years and 18 years, numbering about 44 crore, pose an additional risk since the country is yet to begin vaccinating this group. But experts in vaccination and public health are firm that while children will eventually need to be vaccinated, India’s priority must remain completing the vaccination of its adult population, unless there is an abundant supply of vaccines. Booster doses, too, can wait till a larger proportion of the adult population, who are more at risk of disease, is vaccinated. While there is little data yet on the new variant of concern, Omicron (B.1.1.529), the most vulnerable must continue to have the highest priority for early complete vaccination, they add. So far, India has fully vaccinated less than half of its adult population of 940 million. “If you have a
