A study on breakthrough infection among the health care workers of University of California San Diego Health ( UCSDH) is published on 2nd September 2021 in the NEJM.

It studies the month wise breakthrough infection among all staff vaccinated between Jan to march. The data for the July attack rate per 1000 is given below

Vaccination status of all Staff	No. of New Cases/ 1000 staff
Unvaccinated	16.4
Vaccinated in Jan,Feb 2021	6.7
Vaccinated in Mar, April,May	3.7

• Delta variant accounted for 95% of cases after April 2021
• There is a slight decrease in protection after 4th month of completion of vaccination.
• The dramatic change in vaccine effectiveness from June to July may be due to waning immunity and emergence of the Delta variant.
• If waning of immunity is substantiated, Booster dose will be required after 6- 8 month interval of second dose especially among the risk categories: elderly, HCW and FLW.
• The link for the article of NEJM is given below.
