Reinfection per day per 10,000 patients (daily incidence rate) during the Omicron surge based on age, vaccination status, and health status. On the X axis time period, from 01.12.2021 (an arbitrary date shortly before the begging of the Omicron surge) to the end of the study period (30.3.2022). Different color shades represent people younger than 50 years and older than 50 years. Reinfection incidence rates for non-vaccinated (NV) are shown in (a), for vaccinated before index infection (VBI) are shown in (b), (c), (d), and for vaccinated after index infection (VAI) are shown in (e) and (f).

Multivariate analysis of hazard ratios for reinfection based on vaccination status and time from last vaccination or infection. Cox model results for four independent factors: age (<50 yrs. vs.>50 yrs.), comorbidities (healthy vs. > 1 comorbidities), vaccination status (NV; never vaccinated, VBI vaccinated before index infection, VAI; vaccinated after index infection), and time from last vaccination or infection. Two sets are shown;> 50 years of age with comorbidities and< 50 years without comorbidities.
