HYDERABAD : A top health expert, on Saturday, said that, though the world awaits more information on the new Covid variant Omicron, India should be prepared to fight a possible "third wave" which may be caused by the emerging variant keeping in mind its high transmissibility but possibly low fatality.
The Executive Director highlighted "Hybrid immunity" as "protection" against Omicron and said, "When we talk about hybrid in relation to the COVID it means we are talking about the immunity which has been acquired through the infection and immunity which has been acquired through the vaccination.
When these two work together we call it a hybrid." Executive Director, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar, Dr Vikas Bhatia,
