COVID reinfection is likely to become more common as immunity from previous cases, especially omicron infection, wanes, according to experts.
"The variants seem to be very good at evading the immunity of prior infection," said Dr. Max Brito, UIC Health.
"You have the potential for new waves with a lot infection and waning protection from the vaccine," Brito said. "In six months we've lost 90% of those antibodies and those antibodies are measured against the viral type and if you're talking about antibodies against omicron it's lower than that," said Dr. James Moy, Rush University Medical Center.
"Unfortunately, it seems like COVID-19 has evolved to the point where it will keep infecting us with new variants and new mutations," he said.
