WHO recommends new Covid shots should target only XBB variants

On May 18, the World Health Organisation (WHO) made the recommendation that the upcoming COVID-19 vaccines should no longer contain the original SARS-CoV-2 virus, as all of the vaccines currently in use do, but rather a different version of the virus to better match the variants that are currently in circulation.

Currently, this indicates a virus belonging to the XBB.1 family, which is responsible for the majority of new COVID-19 infections worldwide. 

The gathering that made the proposal, called WHO's Technical Advisory Group on Coronavirus Antibody Arrangement, recommended that the XBB.1.5 variation be remembered for the following immunisation.
