Secondary Cases of Delta-Variant COVID-19 Among Vaccinated Healthcare Workers with Breakthrough Infections is Rare

Abstract

In a retrospective, cohort study at 4 medical centers with high coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination rates, we evaluated breakthrough severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Delta variant infections in vaccinated healthcare workers. Few work-related secondary cases were identified. Breakthrough cases were largely due to unmasked social activities outside of work.
