Coronavirus vaccines created by Pfizer and Moderna are on their way to get tested for their potential to fight the newly discovered UK coronavirus variant.

US surgeon general stated that the UK coronavirus variant doesn’t need to impact daily life. People need to take proper precautions and avail vaccines as and when it is discovered.

The outspread of the variant is not located in any one area as it was with COVID-19. However, as the situation worsens the expectations of vaccinations increase. 

According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the UK coronavirus variant may already be present in the US. He went on to say that the variant is existing in the UK, and also in South Africa. Owing to worldwide travel, it is a safe bet to say that is already present in the US. The UK coronavirus variant mutations are not extraordinary and have no visible influence. However, it still does not seem to control its deadliness. Researchers are concerned that the mutations might reduce the potency of the antibody.
