Omicron is expected to cause a surge in the coming weeks because it appears to spread much more quickly and easily than other COVID-19 variants. The Omicron variant is being studied by scientists all over the world.
• Transmissibility: It is becoming increasingly clear that the Omicron variant spreads much more quickly and easily than the Delta variant, although we do not yet know how much more. • Disease severity: Early data indicate that the Omicron variant may result in less severe disease than the Delta variant, but this remains under study.
• Vaccine effectiveness: It appears that the COVID-19 vaccines continue to protect against severe disease, and boosters provide an additional layer of protection against infection and severe disease.
• Treatment: It is unknown at this time how effective treatments will be against infection caused by Omicron. This is actively being investigated by scientists worldwide.
• Get vaccinated now if you’re not. Vaccination remains the best protection against serious illness and spread of disease.
• If you’re eligible for a booster, make your appointment today. Boosters provide an extra layer of protection. • Wear a mask when away from home.
• Keep a physical distance from people outside your home if you don’t know their vaccination status. • Wash hands frequently.
