Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | CENTERS DISEASE CONTROL & PREVENTION | Source: | Emerging Infectious Diseases, 28 (8) , p. 1699 -1702 | Abstract: | We investigated the serial interval for SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and Delta variants and observed a shorter serial interval for Omicron, suggesting faster transmission. Results indicate a relationship between empirical serial interval and vaccination status for both variants. Further assessment of the causes and extent of Omicron dominance over Delta is warranted. | Keywords: | Belgium;COVID-19;SARS-CoV-2;coronavirus disease;respiratory infections;serial interval;severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2;vaccine-preventable diseases;variants of concern;viruses;zoonoses;Humans;Vaccination | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/40387 | ISSN: | 1080-6040 | e-ISSN: | 1080-6059 | DOI: | 10.3201/eid2808.220220 | ISI #: | 000843642500023 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2023 |
