Amakuru yavuye mu bushakashatsi bushya bwakorewe muri Laboratwari agaragaza ko urukingo rushimangira rwongera ubudahangarwa bw’umubiri mu kurwanya Omicron, ugereranyije n’inkingo ebyiri zabanje mu guhangana no kurwanya ubwoko butandukanye bwa Covid-19 bwihinduranyije burimo Alpha, Beta, na Delta.

Ubu bushakashatsi bwasesenguriwe ku maraso yakuwe ku bantu banduye COVID-19; bari barakingiwe inkingo ebyiri n’urwa gatatu; n’abari baravuze ko banduye ubundi bwoko bwa COVID-19 zihinduranyije.

Ubushakashatsi kandi bwarimo n’amaraso y’abantu 41 bakiriye urukingo rushimangira rwa COVID-19 rwa AstraZeneca.

Ibi bisubizo bishyigikira ikoreshwa ry’urukingo rwa gatatu mu rwego rwa gahunda y’ikingira mu gihugu, cyane cyane no kugabanya ikwirakwizwa ry’izindi Covid zihinduranyije, harimo na Omicron.”

Ku ruhande rwa Sir Mene Pangalos, Visi Perezida w’uruganda rwa AstraZeneca, yagize ati: “Urukingo rwa COVID-19 rwa AstraZeneca rufite uruhare runini muri gahunda y’ikingira ku isi yose kandi aya makuru aduha icyizere ku rukingo rwa gatatu. Ni ngombwa kandi kureba ibiruseho, kugira ngo wumve neza uburyo inkingo zitanga ubwirinzi kuri Omicron.”

Yakomeje avuga ko ibyavuye mu bushashatsi bizera ko bizatanga ubwirinzi bw’igihe kirambye ndetse no guhangana n’indwara z’ibyorezo byohereza benshi mu bitaro.
