The 2019 coronavirus is a RNA virus which possess the ability to mutate and change its form. Covid-19 mutation has occurred and it is leading to a second wave. Despite the progress in covid-19 vaccine although there were few case of those who are allergic to the vaccine, the COVID has reappeared in a new form, causing the UK to close its borders to neighboring European countries. The new coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory syndrome of Coronavirus) is shown to be more deadly and life threaten to human existence than COVID-19.
Normally viral mutation always lead to a weaker virus and slightly different from the previous one but this is different. Leaving one to study the behavior of this mutated virus. One is concerned if it could reinfect those who were former victims of the virus. What does this say about the vaccine, we have had other RNA diseases such as measles which vaccine had protected individuals for years despite the mutation of the virus. We believe the mutation wouldn't escape the protection of the vaccine, covid-19 vaccine still possess the ability to protect one from the virus. Nevertheless, those who in time passed had falling victim to anaphylaxis, Pfizer covid-19 vaccine wouldn't be a good choice of vaccine for them.
The second wave of this virus is getting some corresponding response from government in Nigeria as rehabilitation centers are re-opened and states like Lagos and the FCT are on lock down. Other state are encourage to join in the lock-down but one cannot overemphasize covid-19 safety protocol, remember to wear you mask as you patiently await the administering of the vaccine, wash your hands, sneeze to your elbow and more importantly avoid physical and social distance.
