Pfizer vaccine to work against new strains
A new study shows that the Pfizer vaccine is likely to protect against new strains as well
January 8, 2021 4:40 am
In a study that hasn’t been peer-reviewed yet, researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch and Pfizer have concluded that the vaccine seems to work against one of the mutations that makes the variants distinct.
The researchers used a mutation found in the U.K. and South Africa strains to create a version of the virus. They tested it against blood from 20 people who had received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. They found that the antibodies that fight the virus were still able to “neutralize” the new strain.

NCCARE360 is a statewide coordinated care network that connects individuals to local services and resources with a shared technology. It is the first statewide electronic platform available to coordinate care for those with identified needs to community resources and allow feedback on the outcome of the connection. To date, more than 1,400 organizations in all 100 of North Carolina’s counties are participating in NCCARE360. This platform, powered by Unite Us, offers a new approach to delivering better care for North Carolinians that is grounded in addressing social risk factors and thus closely aligns with UNC Health’s mission.
