🧬 Emerging Variants:
Two new variants, NB.1.8.1 and LF.7, have been identified in India. NB.1.8.1 was detected in Tamil Nadu in April, while LF.7 cases have been found in Gujarat in May. These variants are currently under monitoring due to their potential for increased transmissibility and immune evasion.

Vaccination continues to offer protection against severe illness, though its efficacy may diminish over time, underscoring the need for continued vigilance.
