COVID variants have emerged. Considering all these facts, many are of the view that it is high time to start thinking about a ‘next-gneration’ vaccine.

This could be especially problematic if a new variant emerges that is much more transmissible or deadly than the current ones. “Of course, the Omicron variants are not causing severe infections but what if, Delta is still lurking somewhere and a new sublineage mutates from it," said Prof.
