Abstract
In the third year of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, the omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has swept the globe and yielded several subvariants.1,2 Currently, BA.2 is overtaking BA.1 in frequency. In addition, BA.2.12.1 infection is increasing quickly and already accounts for more than 50% of new infections in the United States. Therefore, the protection of current vaccines and the need to develop future vaccination strategies are of great concern.Keywords
