In December 2021, the B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, became predominant in the United States. Subsequently, national COVID-19 case rates peaked at their highest recorded levels.* Traditional methods of disease surveillance do not capture all COVID-19 cases because some are asymptomatic, not diagnosed, or not reported; therefore, the proportion of the population with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (i.e., seroprevalence) can improve understanding of population-level incidence of COVID-19. This report uses data from CDC's national commercial laboratory seroprevalence study and the 2018 American Community Survey to examine U.S. trends in infection-induced SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence during September 2021-February 2022, by age group.
2021 年 12 月,导致 COVID-19 的 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的 B.1.1.529(奥密克戎)变体成为美国的主要流行株。随后,美国 COVID-19 病例数达到创纪录的最高水平。*传统的疾病监测方法无法捕捉到所有的 COVID-19 病例,因为有些是无症状的,没有被诊断出来,或者没有被报告;因此,人群中具有 SARS-CoV-2 抗体的比例(即血清流行率)可以更好地了解 COVID-19 在人群中的发病率。本报告利用美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)全国商业实验室血清流行率研究和 2018 年美国社区调查的数据,按年龄组分析了 2021 年 9 月至 2022 年 2 月期间美国因感染导致的 SARS-CoV-2 血清流行率趋势。
