How effective against the P1 variant are our current vaccines?
Should we be worried?
There's so much conflicting advice out there.

They don’t know, officially. Brazil is a disaster though so for them it’s as bad as it can get which must be terrible.

If it shows to have taken hold here then we have a problem and our roadmap would no doubt be paused indefinitely.

If the booster vaccines in the autumn can be tweaked to compensate for this mutation then it’s not a total disaster. However Our Achilles heel is the lack of vaccinated under 40s who may struggle with this as is the case in Brazil.

Yes, but not quite as much as against the original covid. SA variant apparently more of a worry. Here is a Twitter thread with some data mobile.twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1371209487491735553
