Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIAID director, predicts that Omicron will become the country's most dominant COVID-19 variant as it is spreading at an unprecedented rate in the US and other countries across the world.
US Food and Drug Administration is expected to discuss booster shots this week. However, several scientists discouraged plans to provide COVID vaccine boosters to the general population at this time.
Pfizer and Moderna were given authorization last month to give booster shots for those immunocompromised individuals, but the US health regulators are also now planning to approve a COVID-19 third dose for everyone given the high breakthrough cases.
An evolutionary theory predicts what will happen later, that pertains to the COVID-19 variant evolution. The variant is explained to be transmitted faster than the original Wuhan strain.
