Study shows the mutations leading to omicron variant did not help virus escape recognition by T cells

People who gained immunity -; either through vaccination or exposure -; against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, also are likely to have some protection against the pathogen's omicron variant.
