Newly detected FE.1 omicron subvariant, also known as XBB.1.18.1.1, may cause severe infection in those in the vulnerable population, infectious diseases specialist Dr. Rontgene Solante warned in a briefing on Tuesday, June 20. ManilaBulletin
FE.1 is classified as one of the XBB variants of interest, along with XBB.1, XBB 1.16, and XBB.1.5, which are the dominant omicron subvariants present in the country.
There is no direct evidence yet whether FE.1 is highly contagious or may cause severe infection even in those who are vaccinated. Solante reiterated that this new subvariant only causes mild symptoms, particularly in the younger population, since it targets the upper respiratory tract contrary to the Delta variant.
