What impact do FLiRT subvariants have on vaccine efficacy?

FLiRT (Flu-like Respiratory Tract) subvariants have significantly impacted vaccine efficacy due to mutations that alter viral spike proteins. These changes can reduce the ability of vaccines to neutralize the virus, leading to potential breakthrough infections.

Vaccines target specific viral proteins to generate an immune response. Mutations in FLiRT subvariants may modify these proteins, diminishing vaccine effectiveness. To combat this, vaccine makers continuously update vaccines and develop booster shots.

My Care Labs plays a crucial role in managing these challenges through advanced diagnostic testing:

Variant Detection: PCR and sequencing services identify FLiRT subvariants, helping track their prevalence and impact on vaccines.
Monitoring Vaccine Effectiveness: Regular testing evaluates vaccine performance against new subvariants.
Comprehensive Testing Panels: Detailed health panels assess the broader impact on health.
Expert Consultation: Guidance on interpreting results and adapting health strategies.
