Wednesday saw the first confirmed case of the so-called “omicron” variant B.1.1.529) of COVID-19 to hit the United States in a fully vaccinated Californian traveling home from South Africa.
A press release from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) indicates that the unnamed individual experienced “mild symptoms that are improving” and the infection is believed to be contained, with the patient self-quarantining and all close contacts having tested negative.
The press release claims the variant’s emergence “further emphasizes the importance of vaccination” for everyone ages five and up and boosters for everyone 18 and up, but White House COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledged in separate remarks that the individual was “fully vaccinated,” though he had not yet gotten a booster.
