Chance of re-infecting “Omicron” subspecies “BA.4”, “BA.5” and “BA.2.12.1”

by time news

On May 5, 2022, the Center for Medical Genomics page posted the message: Medical Genome Center Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital said that the chance of infection “Omicron” subspecies “BA.4”, “BA.5” and “BA.2.12.1” re-infection

Reports from scientists abroad found that the results of laboratory experiments.subspecies of omikron (new sub-variant) BA.4, BA.5, and BA.2.12.1 can provide rapid person-to-person contact. However, people infected with such subspecies tend to have mild symptoms. Close to the original Omicron

Professor Julie Swann of North Carolina State University, adviser to the US CDC on the epidemic. said the level of a person’s risk of re-infection The re-infection may depend on other factors, such as age, underlying health condition. and the time of last vaccination or last infection

If a person in their 60s received the booster vaccine four to six months ago, they may be at risk of reinfection with the new subspecies of omikron. and may have severe symptoms (severe). On the other hand, if a person is also in his 60s but has recently been infected with coronavirus before or has had it.booster vaccineWithin 3-4 months, if infected with the new sub-variant omikron, symptoms ofCOVID-19 mild (mild)

part Thailand has a high vaccination rate of 80%, which is higher than the UK, USA, Germany and India.

and from the Medical Genome Center Together with medical institutions across the country, randomly decoding the entire genome of the coronavirus, found that BA.1 is extinct. while the number of new BA.2 cases has continued to decline. The “Omicron” subspecies BA.4, BA.5 and BA.2.12.1 have not been found in the country.

While randomly decoding genetics BA.4 Both genomes from global samples and submissions are based on the global COVID database.”GISAID” +667 cases found, estimated to be +2,652 outbreaks.

Genetically decrypted randomly BA.5 Both global genomes and submissions have been “GISAID” +318 cases, estimated to be +1,000 outbreaks.

Most recently, the BA.2.12.1 genome was randomly deciphered, both globally and as a submission.”GISAID” +10,233 so far, estimated to be +40,000 worldwide.
