Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 infections diagnosed after mRNA BNT162b2 vaccination

A team from the National Institute for Infectious Diseases “L. Spallanzani” (INMI) has recently reported their study on 94 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections (47.9% symptomatic, 52.1% asymptomatic) that occurred after the first or second vaccine dose against SARS-CoV-2 in the Lazio region (Central Italy).
