Evidence of rapid rise in population immunity from SARS-CoV-2 subclinical infections through pre-vaccination serial serosurveys in Pakistan
The data suggests a steady increase in humoral immunity in Pakistan, likely due to increased transmission and associated asymptomatic disease. Overall, this reflects the longitudinal trend of protection against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, leading to the relatively low morbidity and mortality observed in the population.
