Experts are saying the Omicron COVID-19 variant is seemingly producing shorter-lived immunity following infection.

“Because we’re not doing PCRs, we do not have a really good handle on the amount of re-infection,” says Dr. Bruce Mazer, Associate Scientific Director, COVID-19 Immunity Task Force.

But experts suspect re-infection is happening.

“It is possible to develop COVID after having recovered from it fairly recently,” Conway says.
