The German Association of Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies (vfa) expects a second generation of vaccines to be available this year. "Several companies are already testing their next-generation vaccines in studies with volunteers. The first approvals should be possible this year. But longer-term projects in which protection against variants is based on completely novel concepts can also make an important contribution to protecting against further corona outbreaks in the coming years," vfa President Han Steutel told the Rheinische Post newspaper.
Could be very true. I see that Austria and France don’t allow flights anymore from the UK due to a specific Indian variant “ In the UK it's thought the Indian variant - or rather a particular type of it known as B.1.617.2 - could be spreading more quickly than the Kent variant, which was responsible for the surge in cases over the winter.” Although the major part of People in the UK is vaccinated there seem to be a problem again. This makes me believe it’s not over yet
