One of the first studies into Omicron and immunity has reported back and it's not super great news: there's significant evasion of antibodies produced by the Pfizer vaccine.
But not all is lost. The study says that the Omicron variant uses the same way of getting into our cells, meaning our existing tools and techniques should be relatively easy to change so they work better.
The study is not yet published, and is a very small sample size so it's worth keeping in mind that this is still a very new area of science and is subject to change.
Nonetheless, as today's Coronacast explains, it does give us a glimpse of what is likely to come.
Also on today's show:
* Could a mozzie vaccinate someone by biting a vaxed person and then an unvaxed person?
* Your booster experiences
