A group of seven Germans between the ages of 25 and 39 were infected with the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in South Africa, even though all of them were fully vaccinated and had received the oft-lauded booster shots from BioNTech, Astrazeneca, and Moderna.
German paper Der Tagesspiegel reported on the news this week, noting that the group of young people ranged from ages 25 to 39 and likely contracted the omicron variant of COVID-19 in late November or early December.
“We’re seeing a lot of breakthrough infections right now,” said Wolfgang Preiser, a member of the research consortium that discovered the variant. “What we did not know is that even a booster vaccination with Biontech / Pfizer does not prevent this.These infections are the first breakthrough infections reported with the Omicron variant in people who have already received their booster vaccinations.”
