The subvariant could be more likely to result in reinfection of a person irrespective of whether they are vaccinated, the study found.
A study has found that people who have been fully vaccinated or just recovered from Covid have virtually no antibody protection against the Omicron variant.
The Omicron subvariant, BA.2, is not only more transmissible than the original Omicron strain, BA.1, but may cause more severe disease, a lab study from Japan says.
