Importance of Vaccine to fight Omicron| Medipulse Review
In the battle against Omicron, vaccines continue to offer important protection against covid-19. Vaccination stimulates the body's immune response to the virus, which not only protects from the variants currently in circulation- including Omicron but is also likely to protect from future variants.
Omicron & Vaccination for Kids
With a spike in Omicron cases, more and more children, especially ones in the unvaccinated category including children are more at risk of getting the infection. Children between 15-18 years of age are eligible for vaccination right now, and every child must get vaccinated to reduce the mutation of the virus
Omicron|Dignostic Testing & Detection
As Omicron is not the only SARS-CoV-2 variant with mutations in the spike protein that can exhibit similar behavior as other variants, it is difficult to diagnose whether the patients are infected from Omicron or any other variant. According to our experts, the ability of an RT-PCR Covid19, test is proven to be a useful diagnostic tool to identify and isolate carriers of the Omicron variant.
Omicron Infectivity Rate & Symptoms| Explained
Omicron is another COVID19 variant. According to our doctor, this new variant has a higher infectivity rate which means even the least amount of exposure is harmful to you. But the upside to Omicron is that it is mild in nature, which means fewer hospitalizations and faster recovery. Even though, we suggest you mask up and be safe
