He expects that a corona vaccine adapted to the omicron variant can be used from September. “We’re getting a vaccine that protects against the omicron variants. We’re expecting it in September,” Lauterbach told the “Bild am Sonntag” newspaper.
The minister warned that the intervals at which new variants replaced the old ones were becoming ever shorter. “That means we’re getting less and less prepared for the mutations. It’s entirely possible that we could end up with a highly contagious omicron variant that’s as deadly as Delta. That would be an absolute killer variant.”
Lauterbach said vaccine against delta variants is available. “Our goal is to have as much vaccine as possible for every citizen, no matter which variant comes. Then we have an antidote for both an omicron and a delta variant.” Then be prepared for anything.
