The virus keeps transmitting or it will have no chance to replicate and spread further. In this sense, if we want to stop the epidemic, there are two major measures: one is public health measures, and another is to use vaccines."

Storyline


Mass vaccination buys time for researchers to develop new vaccines to safeguard public health against virus mutation, said an expert of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention at a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.

Shao Yiming, a researcher at the center, also an advisor to the Product Development Vaccine Advisory Committee under the World Health Organization (WHO), said it is normal that the coronavirus will keep mutating.

"Viral mutation is a constant topic, especially the mRNA virus, which is based on the fact that the virus keeps replicating. The virus keeps transmitting or it will have no chance to replicate and spread further. In this sense, if we want to stop the epidemic, there are two major measures: one is public health measures, and another is to use vaccines," said Shao.

Vaccines can block the transmission of the virus, and the virus cannot replicate if it cannot transmit. In this case, the vaccines have a absolutely positive effect, and it will not lead to the emergence of more mutant strains, said Shao.

The expert added that even without the vaccines, the immune system creates its own immune pressure against the virus, which can lead to the emergence of mutant strains. However, if the person is vaccinated beforehand, he or she has a basic immunity which will suppress the virus and resulting in a stronger immune response. The less the virus replicates, the less chance it may mutate.

"We can buy time by mass vaccination for the companies and research and development institutions to develop a new generation of vaccines that target the mutant strains as they emerge," said Shao.
