The study published by South African scientists this week was carried out on 15 people and has not been peer-reviewed till now, Times of India reported.
During the study, the researcher found that the antibody response of people infected with omicron led to a rise in the protection against the delta variant by fourfold two weeks after being infected with the mutant variant.
