- Researchers studied 1,303 SARS-CoV-2 whole-genome sequences from Vietnam to identify the major variants responsible for the COVID-19 outbreak in 2021.
- The Alpha and Delta variants, specifically the AY.57 lineage of Delta, were linked to over 1.7 million infections and more than 32,000 deaths.
- Nonpharmaceutical interventions significantly influenced the spread of the virus during this outbreak.
Background: Data on breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant infections in vaccinated individuals are limited.
Methods: We studied breakthrough infections among Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccinated healthcare workers in an infectious diseases hospital in Vietnam. We collected demographic and clinical data alongside serial PCR testing, measurement of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and viral whole-genome sequencing.
