Because Omicron’s 04 -05 mutations may lead to stronger immunity
Regarding the Omicron mutations currently prevailing in our country, Mr. Majorkinis emphasized that they cause fever and exhaustion, but do not create particular problems in the patient’s respiratory system. He explained that fever and exhaustion are signs of an immune response and may lead to stronger immunity.
“That’s something that maybe has a positive element as well, because these are immunity-building elements. When we have both fever and exhaustion, it means that our immune system is reacting. So there is a possibility that we will have stronger immunity from this variant than from previous 01 – 02.”
