ABSTRACT
The Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has multiple amino acid mutations in its spike proteins, which may allow it to evade immunity elicited by vaccination. We examined the neutralising activity and S1-IgG titres in patients with breakthrough infections caused by the Omicron variant after two doses of vaccination. We found that neutralising activity was significantly lower for the Omicron variant than for the Wuhan strain. Two doses of vaccination might not induce sufficient neutralising activity for the Omicron variant.
