COPENHAGEN – The BA.2 subvariant of the Omicron coronavirus variant, which has quickly taken over in Denmark, is more transmissible than the more common BA.1 and more able to infect vaccinated people, a Danish study has found.
Worldwide, the “original” BA.1 subvariant accounts for more than 98 percent of Omicron cases, but its close cousin BA.2 has quickly become the dominant strain in Denmark, dethroning BA.1 in the second week of January. The study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, was conducted by researchers at Statens Serum Institut , Copenhagen University, Statistics Denmark and Technical University of Denmark.
The study also showed that BA.2 was relatively better than BA.1 at infecting vaccinated and booster-vaccinated people, indicating greater “immune evasive properties” of the subvariant.
