Abstract

There are concerns that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Omicron variant evades immune responses due to an unusually high number of mutations on the spike protein. Here, we report a superspreading event of Omicron infections among 21 of 33 triple-vaccinated healthcare workers who attended a private gathering.
