US CHAMBER: The Omicron Virus

US Chamber logo.png

Researchers are quickly gathering data to assess three things about the Omicron variant: (1) transmissibility; (2) severity; and (3) impact on existing vaccines and therapeutics.


What’s new: On Wednesday, Pfizer released new data revealing that a booster dose of their mRNA vaccine neutralized the Omicron variant and increased antibodies 25-fold, compared to the two dose regiment.

  • However, Pfizer believes two doses of the vaccine can still effectively prevent severe disease.


What’s next: Pfizer is developing an Omicron-specific vaccine which can be ready within 100 days and projects it could be available by March 2022.

Bottom line: In the coming weeks, there will be a flurry of data released on Omicron, and many headlines may seem daunting


  • But we must trust in the fact that the science will continue to lead us where we need to go.


--Kelly Anderson, Senior Director, Health and Drug Policy, Global Innovation Policy Center


INFLATION CONCERN
