Very honest look at breakthrough infections amongst HCWs who are already fully vaccinated.. 1/n
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Out of 1497 fully vaccinated HCWs tested, 39 had breakthrough infection.. yet most of these cases were mild or asymptomatic.

Though 19% had persistent symptoms.. 2/n
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Breakdown of the 39 HCWs infected:
18 nurses
10 admin or maintenance
6 allied health
5 physicians
This might not differ much from even Hospital settings in Malaysia, in terms of case proportion by profession.. 3/n
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Source of infection to these cases were also traced; at least 37 of the 39 were from an unvaccinated individual..
21 - household member
11 - fellow HCW or patient
7 of the 11 - nosocomial transmission fr px receiving positive pressure ventilation.. 4/n
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Of the 39 cases..
26 - mild symptoms, with no hospitalization
13 - asymptomatic .. 5/n
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
A more detailed look at the symptoms experienced.. 6/n
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Serological testing results.. 7/n
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Serological testing results.. 8/n
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
And finally the discussion of serological results.. 9/n
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
All this also points to whether there is a need of booster jabs.. in future decision making.

Now to the uninitiated.. @KKMPutrajaya has been putting out our #COVID19 data in a website called #CovidNow as below 👇🏻 ..
which gives a full range of info like vaccination rates, hospitalization data, case numbers etc .. #Malaysia .. 1/n
covidnow.moh.gov.my
Nevertheless, current #COVID19 data in #Malaysia definitely shows a rising trend. I'm sure many amongst us are seeing cases in our friends, acquaintances, work colleagues, students, church family etc..

Is there a commonality in the present cases, especially the clusters ? .. 2/n
Taking present "official" 20 #COVID19 clusters in #Malaysia (I say "official" some obvious "clusters" were not reported eg: by JKN, in #Penang ) .. 🤔

Back to the "official" 20 clusters:
10 = Education 50%
8 = High Risk 40%
1 = Detention Centre 5%
1 = Workplace 5% .. 3/n
