Reinfection after Omicron (immunised)

10 replies

There's not much news around about Civid anymore so I find it hard to find info.
Does anyone whether people who have had Omicron, fully vaccinated, are going on to get Covid again?
I had it pretty mildly in March and am hoping I'm protected for a while, as I haven't heard of people getting omicron twice, but it may be too early to say?

I had what I presume was omicron in February and caught what I presume was omicron again in July, maybe a different variant. First time I was more poorly and tested positive for longer. Second time was like a cold and I was negative again after a week.

I am unsure on variants but my daughter had it twice in a short ish time.

I would say that getting it again after having it in March is a probability! Many people are being reinfected time and time again

I think the research showed that having omicron didn't protect you very much at all from getting it again.

I had it in March and got it again.

I don't know the variants, but I had it end of March, and again (albeit mildly) end of July

Start of April, end of June for me.

Firstly no one knows what variant they have had

Secondly many people I know have had covid several times, I’ve had it at least twice

Thirdly given no one is testing any more who knows what that sniffle/sore throat/ mild cough is at this point.

Those of us taking part in trials (many thousands of us) do know exactly which variant we have had and we still test regularly.

I have had it twice too.

That’s a tiny minority of the millions of people that have been infected beyondmywits. The vast majority will never know which variant they have had

I really just meant from when omicron became the prevalent strain in around December.
