SARS-COV-2 breakthrough infection and its covariates among healthcare providers of a hospital in Bangladesh during the omicron wave
More than 50 % of the vaccinated hospital-based HCWs in Bangladesh suffered from BTI during the winter of 2022 when the Omicron wave (the 3rd wave) of COVID-19 was at its peak. The data also indicate that overweight and obesity are major host-related risk factors underlying BTI. Inadequate coverage by a booster dose seems to be another determinant of BTI and the level of immune response in this population.
