The new Covid XEC variant, driven by low vaccination rates and immunity waning, is likely to become the dominant strain, with a significant potential to spread.
Professor Cruickshank highlighted that the XEC variant poses a threat of rapid spread, especially due to decreased levels of protective neutralising antibodies among the population.
According to expert predictions, the XEC variant could sweep through the UK in the coming weeks, highlighting the importance of monitoring population vulnerability to infections.
The NHS continues to prioritize vaccinations for at-risk groups, underscoring the ongoing need for public health measures even amid emerging variants like XEC.
