Abstract

What is already known about this topic? Although SARS-CoV-2 reinfections have increased, U.S. epidemiologic trends and associated severe outcomes have not been characterized. What is added by this report? During September 2021–December 2022, the percentages of reinfections among all COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths reported by 18 U.S. jurisdictions increased substantially as new Omicron lineages became predominant. Increases were more pronounced among adults aged 18–49 years compared with those among older persons. What are the implications for public health practice? Cases and severe outcomes associated with SARS-CoV-2 reinfection have increased across the United States since September 2021. CDC recommends staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations and receiving early antiviral treatment, if eligible, to reduce the risk for severe COVID-19–associated outcomes.
