Abstract

With the emergence of the Omicron variant, it has become critical to identify risk factors associated with COVID-19 death in individuals who have completed primary vaccination and received a messenger RNA (mRNA) booster dose. Existing evidence is based on people who have received 1 or 2 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and were infected by the Alpha or Delta variant.1-3 Understanding which groups are at increased risk of COVID-19 death after receiving a booster is crucial for the prioritization of further booster doses and access to COVID-19 therapeutics.
