The rapid increase in infection rates, especially among younger adults, was fuelled by the now dominant Omicron variants
Omicron combined with looser restrictions sparked the latest wave, especially among younger people.
“By March 2023, roughly 80 per cent of adults aged 18-25 had evidence of a previous infection,” said Buckeridge in a news release Monday. “That’s compared to approximately 75 per cent of those aged 25-39 years, 70 per cent of those aged 40-59 years, and 60 per cent of those 60 and over.” The task force compiled the numbers along with seven collaborating teams of scientists. They used aggregate data to estimate trends in both infection-acquired and vaccine-induced SARS-CoV-2 presence in blood samples.
