Since the emergence of Omicron, reinfections with SARS-CoV-2 have been rising. We estimated the risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in the widely vaccinated French population, from January to August 2022. At nine weeks post-infection, the relative risk of reinfection, primary infection with pre-Delta variants being the reference group, was estimated at 0.43 [95%CI 0.40-0.47] if the primary infection was attributed to Delta, 0.21 [95%CI 0.19-0.24] with BA.1 and 0.17 [95% CI 0.15-0.18] with BA.2, and rapidly waned overtime. After a BA.1 primary infection the protection was similar against BA.2 or BA.4/5 reinfection.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
