Together, these studies show the importance of monitoring immunity, virulence & disease severity as SARS-CoV-2 evolves to help guide public health strategies.
They highlight the need for updated vaccines to provide broad protection against new variants.

Additionally, research from @CVRPreparedness & colleagues tested blood from vaccinated people to measure antibody neutralisation of emerging variants.
Data show current boosters provide cross-protection against BA.2.86.

📢 | New insights into Omicron immunity and virulence
CVR researchers quantified virulence of #Omicron subvariants in hamsters using digital pathology. Newer variants such as BA.2.75 and EG.5.1 appear more virulent than original BA.1 strain.
