Omicron infection induces strong protection against a subsequent omicron infection.[SUP]2,4[/SUP] In the present cohort study, an additional, earlier infection with non-omicron SARS-CoV-2 was found to strengthen this protection against a subsequent omicron infection. The earlier pre-omicron infection may have broadened the immune response against a future reinfection challenge.
