President Biden spoke about the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron. The president called the new form of the virus that emerged from South Africa a “cause for concern, but not cause for panic.” He said his administration would draft contingency plans if existing vaccines do not provide adequate protection from Omicron. “We do not yet believe that additional measures will be needed,” he said. “But so that we are prepared, if needed, my team is already working with officials at Pfizer and Moderna and Johnson & Johnson to develop contingency plans for vaccines or boosters if needed.” close
