Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus that belongs to the family and cause of disease 2019 (COVID-19). As May 2022, it had caused more than 500 million infections 6 deaths worldwide. Several vaccines have been produced tested over last two years. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, on other hand, has mutated time, resulting in genetic variation population circulating variants during COVID-19 pandemic. It also shown immune-evading characteristics, suggesting vaccinations against these could be potentially ineffective. purpose this review article investigate key concern (VOCs) mutations driving current pandemic, as well explore transmission rates VOCs relation epidemiological factors compare virus's rate prior coronaviruses. We examined provided information study, including their transmissibility, infectivity rate, severity, affinity for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) receptors, viral load, reproduction number, vaccination effectiveness, vaccine breakthrough.
