Pfizer and BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine may be effective in
neutralizing rapidly spreading variants of SARS-CoV2 that have
developed in the UK and South Africa, according to the findings of
a preliminary laboratory study. The study conducted by Pfizer (PFE)
and the University of Texas Medical branch suggests that the US
drugmaker’s mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2, could be used in
the neutralization of the virus with the co-called N501Y mutant,
found in two rapidly rapidly variants of SARS-CoV-2.
