J&J, Sinopharm, Sputnik V COVID-19 shots less effective against Omicron -study
Dec 17 (Reuters) - COVID-19 vaccines from U.S. drugmaker Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N) and China's Sinopharm as well as Russia's Sputnik V shot had no neutralizing activity against the Omicron variant, according to a study which has not yet been peer reviewed.
The study – conducted by Humabs Biomed SA, a unit of Vir Biotechnology (VIR.O), and the University of Washington, among others – compared the activity of some widely-used COVID-19 vaccines and treatments against Omicron and against the original virus strain first detected in China.
Vaccines from Moderna (MRNA.O), AstraZeneca (AZN.L), Pfizer (PFE.N) and partner BioNTech retained activity against Omicron, but the antibody response was greatly reduced when compared with the original strain, the study found.
