Why Vaccinated People Can Still Contract COVID, New Study Explains

A Japanese study identified four immune response patterns to COVID-19 vaccines, revealing that individuals with rapid antibody decline, despite high initial levels, are more susceptible to breakthrough infections. Lower IgA antibodies, which defend the respiratory tract, are linked to higher infection risk, suggesting that monitoring antibody changes over time could help identify vulnerable individuals and improve vaccination strategies.

"Omicron Variants' Impact on Human Immune System Evolution"

Research suggests that the human immune system is evolving to combat new SARS-CoV-2 variants, particularly after experiencing breakthrough infections by the omicron variant. Memory T cells formed after omicron breakthrough infection showed enhanced immunity against subsequent omicron variants, potentially preventing severe COVID-19 symptoms from future emerging variants. This finding may offer new perspectives in the era of COVID-19 endemic and could be applied to vaccine development to induce memory T cell defenses against subsequent variants.
