Medical Genome Center news reveals that BA.1 – BA.2 have a chance of re-infection. Immune protection is not 100%

Today (28 March 65), the Medical Genome Center, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, revealed the chance of re-infection with the subspecies of omikron “BA.2” after being infected with “BA.1”. It can happen, but is rare, “only 1 per cent, with several European countries reporting re-infections of this nature.” No severe symptoms were found in recurrent infections. requiring hospitalization or death

If compared to people for easy understanding is that BA.1 and B A.2 are not the same in all parts. like twins But there is a sibling-like in common from the same parents. Some of the thorns were unique. BA.1 at 7 of the mutated thorns was different from BA.2. BA.2 was different from BA.1 at 5 of the mutated thorns. BA.1 infection does not protect 100% from BA.2 infection.

The Medical Genome Center detects the 2019 coronavirus strain using “Mass Array” technology. Within 24-48 hours, the proportion of omikron subspecies BA.1 and BA.2 was similar.
