The main proven reasons are immune resistance And the ability to expand the outbreak is higher than the previous epidemic strains, namely BA.2 and BA.5.
With XBB the most immune resistant, while BQ.1.1 is also very immune resistant.
Most recently, Cao Y and colleagues from Peking University The results of the study were published last night. It reinforces that BQ.1.1 and XBB are very immune resistant.
However, a comparative study showed that the level of immunity from a person vaccinated with three doses of CoronaVac and previously infected with the Omicron BA.1 strain of COVID-19 is not sufficient to deal with BQ .1.1 and XBB.
In addition, even people who have been vaccinated and infected before Over 6 months (7.5 months), the level of immunity drops significantly.
The results of this study from the Peking University team It reinforces us to recognize the importance of constant self-defense.

Both countries should procure newer bivalent vaccines that boost the immune system. for the people in a timely manner
reconfirm that covid19 virus not common cold not seasonal flu
