ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo identify the rate, population characteristics, and vaccination history of repeat infections among previously infected people in the current epidemic based on the rate of repeat infection and population characteristics of different mutant strains at different times in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and to provide reference for the prevention and control strategies of novel coronavirus repeat infections. MethodsA total of 9 250 investigated subjects were randomly selected from the new cases of asymptomatic infection and confirmed cases reported by Pudong New Area from March to May 2022. The investigation mainly focused on demographic characteristics, nucleic acid or antigen test results, and symptoms after infection. The repeat infection rates among different populations were compared, and logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of gender, age, and vaccination status on repeat infections. ResultsThe survey sample of 9 250 people had a response rate of 81.85%. There were 4 043 males (53.40%) and 3 528 females (46.60%), with a median age of 34 years old (P25, P75: 7, 61). The overall vaccine uptake rate was 59.44% (4 500/7 571). In December of 2022, there were 563 cases of repeat infection, with an infection rate of 7.44%. The lowest rate of repeat infection was seen in the 3‒ year-old group (2.86%) and the highest rate in the 30‒ year-old group (12.42%), with significant differences between different age groups. The repeated infection rate for those who had completed their vaccinations was significantly lower (6.57%) compared to those who had not (7.11%). The age groups of 3‒ years, 70‒79 years, as well as individuals who completed full vaccination and received booster shots were protective factors against repeat infections. ConclusionThe overall rate of reinfection among the infected in Shanghai during the spring of 2022 was low in the outbreak of the Omicron variant, and the rate of reinfection in the 3‒ year-old group was significantly lower than in other age groups. Completing the full course of vaccination significantly reduces the risk of reinfection. Although the reinfection rate is high in individuals who received booster shots, it remains a mitigating factor compared to those who do not receive the vaccine. It is recommended to continue monitoring reinfections in key populations and further strengthen immunization efforts.
