Abstract

The recent COVID-19 variant, JN 1, identified by the World Health Organization, is considered a notable strain stemming from the OMICRON subvariant BA.2.86.

The singular modification in the virus's spike protein, distinguishing JN.1 from BA.2.86, suggests that existing vaccines should effectively counter both variants. The World Health Organization emphasizes the continued efficacy of current vaccines in protecting against diseases and deaths caused by JN.1, urging individuals, especially those at high risk, to maintain updated vaccinations
