The weekly report: reinfections on the rise
The increase in reinfections from Covid continues. From 24 August 2021 to 5 June 2022, 532,755 cases of reinfection were reported, equal to 4.0% of the total cases notified, in the last week, the percentage of reinfections out of the total number of reported cases was 7.4%, up from the previous week when they were 6.3%. This is indicated by the weekly extended report that integrates the Covid Iss-Ministry of Health monitoring. Unvaccinated people, women, health professionals and those who have been vaccinated for more than 120 days are at greater risk.
The analysis of the risk of reinfection starting from 6 December 2021, specifies the Report better, indicates a greater risk in subjects with the first diagnosis of Covid notified for over 210 days compared to those who had the first diagnosis of COVID-19 among the 90 and the previous 210 days. In subjects not vaccinated or vaccinated with at least one dose for over 120 days compared to vaccinated with at least one dose within 120 days; in females compared to males. “The greater risk in female subjects may probably be due to the greater presence of women in the school environment where an intense screening activity is carried out and to the fact that women perform the role of caregiver in the family more often”. The younger age groups (from 12 to 49 years) are also more at risk than people with the first diagnosis between the ages of 50-59 years. “Probably the greater risk of reinfection in the younger age groups is attributable to higher risk behaviors and exposures, compared to the age groups over 60”. Finally, in health workers compared to the rest of the population.
L’efficacy of the vaccine anti Covid in the period of prevalence of Omicron (from 3 January 2022) in preventing cases of severe disease is 69% in vaccinated with a full course of less than 90 days, 68% with a full course of 91 and 120 days, and 71% in those who have completed the vaccination cycle for over 120 days, to arrive at the87% in vaccinated with boosters, indicates the Report. In preventing contagion, it is 41% within 90 days of the completion of the vaccination cycle, 32% between 91 and 120 days, and 46% beyond 120 days from the completion of the cycle or equal to 55% with the booster dose.
