| Abstract: |
The article discusses the effectiveness of natural infection in preventing reinfection with the SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 variant during a large wave in Qatar. The study analyzed Qatar's national COVID-19 databases and matched cases and controls based on various factors. The overall effectiveness of previous infection in preventing reinfection with JN.1 was estimated at 1.8%, with a rapid decline over time. The protection of natural infection against reinfection was strong within the first 6 months but waned rapidly and was lost after one year. The findings suggest that JN.1 exhibits immune evasion and that the protection against JN.1 decreases over time. [Extracted from the article] |
