JN.1 not expected to spread as existing Covid-19 vaccine will work: Ex-ICMR DG
Wednesday, 27 December 2023
The JN.1 variant of the SARS-COV-2 virus is not expected to spread widely in India. Existing Covid-19 vaccines and mask-wearing in crowded places should be sufficient to combat it. The government is exploring the possibility of rolling out newer Covid-19 vaccines, including SII's nanoparticle-based vaccine, which has shown promise against JN.1. The World Health Organisation has stated that vaccines proven effective against a variant do not require additional clinical trials. Vigilance and vaccination completion, along with mask usage in crowded areas, are advised.
