Preliminary results for Omicron vs Pfizer vaccine for antibody neutralization.
Antibody neutralization is the amount of antibodies needed in cell culture to stop virus replication.

Summary: Omicron causes a 40x reduction in antibody neutralization for 2 dose Pfizer vaccination as compared to original Covid. As the 3rd Pfizer dose gives an approximate 40x increase in antibody production it effectively cancels out. Data for other vaccines not available yet.
