Pfizer/BioNTech vaccination provides just 33 per cent protection against infection by the omicron variant of the coronavirus, but 70 per cent protection against hospitalization, according to a large-scale analysis in South Africa released Tuesday.The first large-scale analysis of vaccine effectiveness in the region where the new variant was discovered appears to support early indications that omicron is more easily transmissible and that the Pfizer shot isn’t as effective in protecting against infection as it was against the delta variant.The analysis was based on more than 211,000 positive COVID-19 test results, 41 per cent from adults who had received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine.

Study: Omicron variant is 'markedly resistant' to vaccine, booster shot
NEW YORK - According to a new study by scientists at Columbia University, the omicron variant of COVID-19 is "markedly resistant" to the current COVID vaccines, antibody treatments, and even booster shots. "We found (omicron) to be markedly resistant to neutralization by serum not only from convalescent patients, but also from individuals vaccinated with one of the four widely used COVID-19 vaccines. Even serum from persons vaccinated and boosted with mRNA-based vaccines exhibited substantially diminished neutralizing activity against B.1.1.529," the study said.
