Scientists from Ben-Gurion University found that the effectiveness of the Pfizer company's vaccine against the corona virus decreases in the case of the South African strain. However, the vaccine highly effectively neutralizes infection by the original virus, or its British version. The study was published in the prestigious journal Cell Host Microbe.
