Vaccinated still got COVID: new study counts breakthrough cases
NCT ID NCT05392075
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracked 100 fully vaccinated adults to see how many later caught COVID-19 (called a breakthrough infection). It also compared infection rates in people who got a booster shot. The goal was to understand how well vaccines and boosters protect against infection, not to test a new treatment.
