Vaccine Breakthrough Infections with SARS-CoV-2 Variants

Mild Covid-19 symptoms developed in two fully vaccinated persons. Serum tests showed high titers of antibodies capable of neutralizing the wild-type strain of SARS-CoV-2 first identified in Wuhan, China, but sequencing of the virus isolates revealed novel variants. Some mutations in the receptor-bin...

Zusammenfassung:Mild Covid-19 symptoms developed in two fully vaccinated persons. Serum tests showed high titers of antibodies capable of neutralizing the wild-type strain of SARS-CoV-2 first identified in Wuhan, China, but sequencing of the virus isolates revealed novel variants. Some mutations in the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein were shared by the two variant strains.
