We have investigated six COVID-19 recovered cases with two doses of Covishield vaccination followed by reinfection. The primary SARS-CoV-2 infection found to occur with B.1 and reinfection with Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants. The genomic characterization and duration between two infections confirms these cases as SARS-CoV-2 reinfection. The immune response determined at different time intervals demonstrated boost post two dose vaccination, decline in pre-reinfection sera post 7 months and rise post reinfection. In conclusion, it was observed that these cases got SARS-CoV-2 reinfection with declined hybrid immunity acquired from primary infection and two dose covishield vaccination. This findings suggests the need to protect the community through booster dose of vaccination and prevent further infections following personal hygiene and non-pharmaceutical interventions.
我们研究了 6 例 COVID-19 康复病例,这些病例均接种了两剂 Covishield 疫苗,随后再次感染。最初的 SARS-CoV-2 感染被发现与 B.1 有关,而再次感染则与 Omicron BA.1 和 BA.2 变体有关。基因组特征和两次感染之间的时间间隔证实了这些病例是 SARS-CoV-2 的再次感染。在不同时间间隔测定的免疫反应显示,两剂疫苗接种后出现增强,7 个月后再次感染前血清中下降,再次感染后上升。总之,观察到这些病例因从初次感染和两剂 Covishield 疫苗获得的混合免疫力下降而再次感染 SARS-CoV-2。这些发现表明,需要通过加强疫苗接种来保护社区,并在个人卫生和非药物干预措施之后防止进一步感染。
