Dr Naoya Ito of Aichi Cancer Center Hospital, who specializes in infectious diseases, said: “It is presumed that the vaccine compatible with Omicron will be more effective in preventing infection because more neutralizing antibodies against Omicron strains are produced than before will be made.” BA.5 is said to be effective as well, so I have high hopes.
Moreover, although the number of infected people has decreased recently, “it is difficult to say that the 7th wave has subsided, and the risk of infection is still high. Now is the time to get vaccinated.”
