COVID-19 will gradually become endemic from its current state of being a pandemic: ICMR expert

@the_news_21

The Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) expert, Dr Samiran Panda has said that coronavirus will come to a stage where it will be an endemic (diseases like chicken pox, malaria or influenza that occur at a predictable rate).

He also said that the vulnerable population will need to take the shot annually.

“The COVID-19 virus will reach its endemic stage like influenza after a while and then vulnerable population may have to take the vaccine shot annually,” Dr Panda said.

“Influenza, commonly known as flu, was a pandemic 100 years ago but today it is endemic. Similarly, in the case of COVID-19, we expect that it will gradually become endemic from its current state of being a pandemic. Currently, we recommend the elderly to take annual flu shots. As the influenza virus keeps on mutating, we simultaneously make minor changes in the vaccine. So, there is no need to panic,” he added.
