Although less effective against the new variants, XBB.1.5 vaccination remains protective and reduces the risk of infection and COVID-19 disease.

"So, this new Covid variant..."
"What, the ultra-transmissable Omicron subvariant?"
"That's the one. Such a shame we can't assign a Greek letter to it like the rest."
"Because it's a subvariant? Yes. Well, why don't we just come up with some other kind of nickname for it?"
"Capital idea! Now, we'd better pick something innocuous, you know, don't want to cause any kind of panic."
"Good point. How about... 'The Kraken'?"
"Perfect."

XBB.1.5—unofficially nicknamed #Kraken by some scientists online, is an #Omicron #subvariant that has caught attention of virologists in recent wks because of its significant advantage in how fast it spreads. Research by #computational #virologist Trevor Bedford #FredHutchinsonCancerCenter in Seattle suggests #XBB15 currently has a reproduction number of around 1.6, meaning every person infected by this #subvariant will on average, go on to infect about 1.6 other people. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-covids-xbb-1-5-kraken-variant-is-so-contagious/
