Covid: Pfizer says booster shot promising against Omicron
Covid：輝瑞表示加強針有希望能對抗Omicron
Pfizerand BioNTech have said a booster jab of their coronavirus vaccine promises tobe an effective defence against the new Omicron variant.
輝瑞與BNT表示他們疫苗的加強針有望能夠在對抗Omicron上起到一定的效用。
Three doses provide asimilar level of antibodies against Omicron to that of two doses against othervariants, the companies said after a small study.
這兩家公司在一場小型實驗後表示，三劑對抗Omicron所產生的抗體量和兩劑對抗其他變種的程度差不多。
The World HealthOrganization (WHO) earlier said vaccines should still work against severeOmicron cases.
WHO早些時候表示疫苗在對付重症Omicron上仍然有效。
Researchers across the worldare piecing together data about Omicron.
來自全世界的研究者們正一同拼湊著蛛絲馬跡，想盡辦法了解Omicron。
It is the most heavilymutated version of coronavirus found so far.
這是至今為止傳染力最強的冠狀病毒。
In a statement on Wednesday,Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla said protectionagainst the variant would be improved with a third dose of the jab.
在星期三發布的一篇聲明中，輝瑞執行長AlbertBourla表示對抗變種病毒的保護力會在第三劑時增強。
"Ensuring as manypeople as possible are fully vaccinated with the first two dose series and abooster remains the best course of action to prevent the spread ofCovid-19," he said.
他表示「確保有越多人做到前兩劑接種完成，加強針就仍會是防止Covid-19擴散的最佳行動方案(Best Course of Action)。」
However, Pfizer and BioNTechnoted that the results were preliminary and said they would continue to collectdata and "evaluate real-world effectiveness".
不過，輝瑞與BNT標註說這個結果只是第一步，並表示他們將會繼續收集資料，然後「評估真實世界的效果」。
They added that they weredeveloping an Omicron-specific vaccine which would be ready for delivery within100 days, pending regulatory approval.
他們補充說他們正在研發針對Omicron的疫苗，它將在100天內進入能夠交貨的狀態，目前正在等待監管單位核准。
Both the Pfizer/BioNTechresearch and anew South African study - not yet peer-reviewed - found that the vaccinemight result in far fewer neutralising antibodies against Omicron than againstthe original Covid strain.
不論是輝瑞或是BNT的研究還是南非的新研究– 尚未經過同行評審(peer-reviewed，專有名詞) – 都發現該疫苗產生的對付Omicron用的中和抗體可能會遠少於對抗原始Covid病毒株的。
Pfizer/BioNTech, however,said a third dose boosted those antibodies by a factor of 25, making itcomparable to that of two doses against other variants.
然後，輝瑞與BNT表示第三濟將增強這些抗體25倍(factor of X，似乎是增強X倍的意思)，使其能與第二劑對抗其他變種的能力相抗衡。
There is no significant datayet on how the Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and other jabs hold up againstthe new variant.
目前還沒有有力的資料顯示莫德那、嬌生與其他疫苗能否對抗新變種。
The WHO's emergenciesdirector Mike Ryan earlier said there was no sign Omicron would be better atevading vaccines than other variants.
WHO緊急醫療計劃執行主任Mike Ryan在早些時候表示沒有任何線索顯示Omicron比其他變種更會閃躲疫苗。
"We have highlyeffective vaccines that have proved effective against all the variants so far,in terms of severe disease and hospitalisation, and there's no reason to expectthat it wouldn't be so" for Omicron, Dr Ryan told AFP news agency.
Ryan告訴法新社「我們擁有能夠有效對抗所有變種的疫苗，不論是重症或是住院治療方面都相當有效，因此我們沒有理由認為Omicron不會像其他變種一樣被疫苗擊敗。(應該是這個意思，有點看不太懂正意反意)」Omicron was firstidentified in South Africa, where there is now a surge in the number of peoplecatching Covid multiple times.Omicron是在南非被首次確認的，現在那裡感染Covid的人數正在大量增加。
UK Prime Minister BorisJohnson's spokesman said early signs suggested Omicron could be moretransmissible than the current Delta strain.
英國首相Boris Johnson的發言人表示，早期的種種跡象顯示Omicron可能比Delta變種還更具傳染性。
But Omicron's ability tocause severe disease is not yet clear.
但Omicron導致重症的能力目前還不明朗。
The WHO's Dr Ryan saidinitial data suggested Omicron did not make people sicker than the Delta andother strains, but instead pointed towards it being less severe.
WHO的Ryan博士表示初始資料顯示Omicron並沒有比Delta或是其他變種讓病況更嚴重。(第二句感覺和第一句意思很像我就沒翻了)
Dr Anthony Fauci, the top USinfectious diseases expert, said early evidence suggests Omicron could be moretransmissible but less severe.
美國傳染病學權威Anthony Fauci博士表示這些早期證據顯示Omicron可能是更具傳染性，但同時也沒那麼有殺傷力。
There have been more than267 million cases of coronavirus and more than five million deaths around theworld since the pandemic began, according to data from Johns HopkinsUniversity.
根據約翰霍普金斯大學的資料，自疫情肆虐全球算起，全世界目前已經有2.67億的冠狀病毒案例，並且有超過5百萬的人因此死去。
