SINGAPORE: According to a new study done in Singapore, the COVID-19 vaccination has been found to provide “added protection” against Omicron infections in children and adolescents who were previously infected with the virus compared to those who have recovered and remained unvaccinated.
“Since many in the Singapore population including children and adolescents have already caught COVID-19, the study findings are directly relevant to our community. For previously infected children aged from 12 to 17, the vaccine provided 85.7 per cent of protection against the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 variant.
KKH noted that the vaccine protection conferred against the XBB variant with two vaccine doses was lower and added that this was due to the “significant molecular changes reported in the XBB variant making it more transmissible”. Children aged five to 11, who were vaccinated with two doses before their first COVID-19 infection had the highest protection of 85.3 per cent against Omicron BA.4/BA.5, while vaccination effectiveness in adolescents was 82.9 per cent, said the study.
