Vaccine breakthrough infections in a highly-vaccinated Australian population during a SARS-CoV-2 Delta outbreak.

Abstract: Over 80% of residents in the Australian Capital Territory were fully vaccinated within 10 weeks of a SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant outbreak. Of the outbreak's 1,545 cases, 10% were breakthrough infections. The incidence of infections among fully- and partially-vaccinated people was 98.5% and 90% lower, respectively, than for unvaccinated people.
