Zhong Nanshan: A new crown vaccine against mutant strains is being developed

China News Service, Guangzhou, April 24 (Cai Minjie) On the 24th, at the 2021 Frontiers of Medical Science Forum of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in Guangzhou, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering , said through a connection that he is currently working hard to develop a new crown vaccine against mutant strains.

When talking about the precise prevention of the new crown epidemic, Zhong Nanshan said that the main problem currently encountered is the mutation of the new crown virus.

In terms of treatment, why are people suffering from new coronary pneumonia, people with similar health conditions are also treated, and some patients quickly deteriorate or even die, but some patients quickly get better? In response to this phenomenon, Zhong Nanshan believes that “it may be closely related to genetic susceptibility.

Zhong Nanshan also said that great attention should be paid to individualization and precise prevention in the development of vaccines.

Virus mutation is currently one of the main contradictions encountered in global prevention and control.
