Berlin: Germany-based pharmaceutical company BioNTech has expressed confidence that its vaccine (Vaccine) that protects against the Coronavirus is also effective against the new form of the virus in Britain, but Further research is needed to be completely sure.

Concerns have increased in the world after a new type of corona virus was detected in London, Britain and southern England. So far, there have been no indications that this redesign is more lethal, but taking precautionary measures, many countries in Europe and the world have banned flights to and from the UK.

The European Union has approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. “We do not know at this time whether our vaccine (virus) is capable of providing protection against the new type,” BioNotech Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ugur Saheen told a press conference on Tuesday.

“But on the basis of scientific facts, there is every possibility that this vaccine will also work to prepare immunity against the new form of the virus,” he said. Saheen said that the protein fraction on the new form of the virus in the UK is up to 99 percent the same as the current strain, so on “scientific grounds” Bioentech is confident that the vaccine will remain effective.

Saheen said, “Scientists are currently testing it and data will be available in the next two weeks. He said, “Hopefully, our vaccine will work.” Saheen said that the vaccine will be prepared to fight the new form of the virus and it may take six weeks. However, prior to its use, regulatory approval will be required.

BioNotech, in collaboration with America’s leading pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, has developed a corona virus prevention vaccine. The use of the vaccine has been approved in more than 45 countries, including Britain, the United States and the European Union, and thousands of people have also taken supplements.

Bioentech Chief Commercial Officer Sean Marett said, “The first shipment of the vaccine will arrive in all EU countries within the next five days and then be supplied in the coming week.” After the detection of the new form of the virus, Germany has also stopped flights coming from Britain. Meanwhile, the head of Germany’s National Center for Disease Control, Lothar Weiler, said that there is a possibility that a new form of the virus has spread to Germany.
