Real-world impact of COVID-19 vaccination, household exposure, and circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants on infection risk and symptom presentation in a U.S./Mexico border community
COVID-19 vaccination was associated with a reduced risk of COVID-19 infection after household exposure, highlighting the importance of equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, specifically in communities experiencing higher infection rates. Our findings also underscore the necessity for enhancing workplace safety protocols, addressing language-specific considerations, and being cognizant of differing symptom presentation by variant.
