New Var1@nt Alert! BA.4 and BA.5 are similar to earlier @m1cr0n subvar1@nts, but they have one important difference: mutations in their spike proteins make it easier for them to penetrate human cells and cause infection. These mutations can also help BA.4 and BA.5 escape disease-fighting antibodies created by past C@V1D-19 v@cc1nes and prior infections. This, along with the natural waning of v@cc1ne protection and the fact that many communities are lifting C@V1D-19 restrictions, sets the stage for the virus to spread. Why wait for symptoms?
