Effectiveness of past infection by outcome
Infection
Symptomatic disease
Severe disease
Findings
High levels of protection from infection caused by
Alpha, beta, and delta variants
Lower levels of protection from infection caused by
Omicron BA.1 variant
Effectiveness against re-infection with the omicron BA.1 variant
Protection against reinfection, 45·3%
Protection against omicron BA.1 symptomatic reinfection, 44%
Protection against severe disease if reinfected with BA.1 is 88.9%
Protection from re-infection with ancestral strains
Alpha and delta variants
Declined over time
78·6% at 40 weeks
Protection against re-infection with omicron BA.1
Declined more rapidly
36·1% at 40 weeks
Protection against severe disease at 40 weeks if reinfected
Remained high for all variants
90·2% for alpha and delta variants
88·9% for omicron BA.1
