The booster shot is\u2064 currently undergoing review by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harris-dodges-question-on-teachers-safely-returning-back-to-schools\/\" title=\"Harris dodges question on teachers safely returning back to schools\">federal health agencies<\/a>, with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cdc-says-existing-covid-antibodies-work-against-new-variant\/\" title=\"CDC confirms existing COVID antibodies effective against new variant.\">authorize updated \u2063vaccines targeting subvariants<\/a> of the Omicron variant.<\/p>\n<p>In their update, the\u200b CDC stated, &#8220;Early\u200d research \u2064data from multiple labs are reassuring and show that existing antibodies work against \u200cthe new\u2063 BA.2.86 variant. These findings are also promising for the effectiveness\u2064 of the \u200c2023\u20132024 COVID-19\u2064 vaccine, which is currently under review. That&#8217;s because\u2064 the vaccine is tailored to the\u200c currently circulating variants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the\u200d CDC clarified that the BA.2.86\u200b lineage of \u2062COVID-19 is\u200b not responsible for the recent small \u200bincreases in cases and hospitalizations in the United States. The\u2064 agency attributed\u2062 these increases to other predominantly circulating viruses.<\/p>\n<p>As\u200b of Friday, \u2063BA.2.86 has\u200b been identified in nine U.S. states. It has also been\u200b detected in human and wastewater specimens in countries\u2064 like\u2062 Japan, the United Kingdom, and \u2063Canada.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC emphasized,\u200c &#8220;Based on our \u2064experience with past SARS-CoV-2 variants, it is likely that people will\u200b have protection against \u2064severe disease\u2063 through both\u2063 cellular \u200band antibody immunity.
