Past COVID-19 infection does not completely protect against reinfection in young people
Although antibodies induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection are largely protective, they do not completely protect against reinfection in young people, as evidenced through a longitudinal, prospective study of more than 3,000 young, healthy members of the US Marines Corps conducted by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Naval Medical Research Center, published April 15 in
The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
Our findings indicate that reinfection by SARS-CoV-2 in health young adults is common. Despite a prior COVID-19 infection, young people can catch the virus again and may still transmit it to others. This is an important point to know and remember as vaccine rollouts continue. Young people should get the vaccine whenever possible, since vaccination is necessary to boost immune responses, prevent reinfection, and reduce transmission.
About 10% of 18- to 20-year-olds who had developed COVID-19 earlier in the pandemic later developed the virus again, according to a new study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, a British medical journal.
Washington: Results of a new study led by researchers of The Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggest vaccination against COVID-19 remains crucial even in young adults who were previously infected.
