In this matter, Dr. Sonia Rawat, Senior Consultant of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, says that the new variant of Corona JN.1 is challenging the immunity along with being infectious, that is why it is attacking the body even after the Corona vaccine. But this does not mean that the vaccine is not effective. The vaccine is fully capable of providing protection against the JN.1 variant.
