Obesity may render COVID-19 vaccine ineffective

Researchers claim that certain health conditions, such as obesity, may render the COVID-19 vaccines ineffective. This inefficacy is likely to make obese people even more vulnerable to the disease. Obesity can push the body's immune response and lead to severe inflammation. This can make the body less equipped to fight the virus.

“It is not a question of not working. The vaccine could work but may not be as effective."
