Decreased effectiveness of vaccines against the Covid Virus 'Mu' variant

Various mutated virus of the covid 19 virus have been found so far. One of them is the 'Mu' mutant virus. The effectiveness of vaccines against this new 'Mu' mutant virus of Covid 19 is low. It is highly resistant to vaccines, the World Health Organisation has warned.

The classical name of Mu virus is B.1.621. The virus was first detected in Colombia in January 2021. It is widespread in South America and Europe. This type of Mu virus of Covid 19 has also been found in the United Kingdom, Hong-Kong according to weekly report released by the United Nations Health Organisation on the background of Covid 19.

Although the global spread of the 'Mu' virus is 0.1 percent, it is growing at 39 percent in Colombia and 13 percent in Ecuador. The virus was added to the World Health Organisation's list on August 30 after it was found in 39 countries around the world. This mutant virus has a high spread rate and has a large number of vaccine resistant properties. However, more research could shed light on this, the report said. Mu, which has been under WHO surveillance since March, is the fifth under-observed mutation virus
