Walter Reed Scientists check whether the British mutant coronavirus can withstand vaccines

When British Prime Minister Boris Johnson shared the grim news that a new, seemingly faster-spreading strain of the coronavirus was present in parts of England this weekend, he said there was no evidence the mutation will be resistant to COVID-19 vaccines. . . But American scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research are now delving into the data to see if there is any reason to be concerned. Nelson Michael, director of the Center for Infectious Diseases Research at Walter Reed, told CNN, “It goes without saying that this mutation isn’t a threat, but you never know. We still need to be diligent and keep seeking. Michael said they should know in the coming days if there are any concerns about the mutation. In August, Walter Reed published a study showing that the vaccines developed worked against other mutations of the coronavirus.
