Incidence and risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection in the early Omicron variant era among vaccinated and boosted individuals in Chicago
Omicron breakthrough is common with significantly higher risk for our most vulnerable patients with multiple co-morbidities. Age plays an important role in breakthrough infection with the highest incidence among young adults, which may be due to age-related behavioral factors. These findings reflect real-world differences in immunity and exposure risk behaviors for populations vulnerable to COVID-19.
