neutralization of Omicron BA.4/BA.5 from the ongoing clinical trials with

2

monovalent or bivalent mRNA vaccines incorporating a BA.1 Omicron and

3

ancestral strain, as well as data from different types of vaccines, such as subunit

4

Beta variant booster vaccines, are awaited.

Conclusions and next steps

7

Based on the data presented, there was agreement that currently approved

8

COVID-19 vaccines are still recommended for primary series and booster doses

9

as they offer protection against severe disease and death, especially following the

10

administration of booster doses. In this context, new vaccines including the

11

ancestral, or a close-to ancestral, strain are currently still valid candidates for

12

booster vaccination. However, continuous viral evolution is expected, likely

13

resulting in reduction in protection, especially from infection and symptomatic

14

disease. Independent from the strain included in the vaccine, current vaccines are

15

designed to provide protection primarily against symptomatic and severe disease.

16
17

With the further evolution of Omicron descendent lineages, regulatory agencies

18

have requested safety and immunogenicity clinical studies be conducted by

19

vaccine developers, and those data are now being assessed to determine the

20

suitability of Omicron adapted vaccines to protect against recently emergent and

21

existing VOCs. Based on emerging clinical data with investigational vaccines

22

incorporating the Omicron BA.1 variant in mRNA vaccines, and as Omicron and

23

its subvariants remain dominant, an Omicron variant strain should be included in

24

adapted versions of currently approved vaccines to offer increased protection that

25

would ideally be longer lasting.

26
27

To expand upon this recommendation, the objective of adapted vaccines is to

28

provide a larger breadth of immunity against SARS-CoV-2 strains including

29

Omicron, as it is currently unknown which strains will be circulating next. With

30

the increasing circulation of Omicron-descendent lineages, bivalent vaccines

31

incorporating an Omicron descendent lineage and ancestral (index) virus would

32

be preferred for adapted versions of vaccines already in use, as they may provide
