Is Omicron Reinfection Possible? Yes say experts including Omicron + Omicron

Are data being collected systematically on reinfections (including in under 90 days) by Omicron on people previously infected with Omicron? prevention.com/health/a387582…

I was slightly startled by this suggestion given how recently the Omicron wave seems to have started even in Botswana & South Africa (Nov 2021) especially as sero studies suggested decent immunity against Omicron by Omicron infection (esp if also vaxxed). 
This would suggest possible reinfection within 3 months. But no link to study, data or reports.
In the UKHSA collect data on reinfections but only counts it as such if new infection occurs >90 days from prior infection. (I’m unclear if that will change).

Prof Hotez suggests Omicron like the upper respiratory CoVs will not induce lasting immunity.
I’d be particularly interested in data on severity, reinfection speed, and also immunity re vax + prior omicron
v
prior infection from omicron alone.
