The Delta variant of concern (VOC) of SARS-CoV-2 has become dominant worldwide. We report here a cluster caused by B.1.617.2 harboring the additional mutation of concern (MOC) F490S. Infection occurred in 5 fully vaccinated subjects between the ages of 47 and 84. The immune escape mutation F490S, first identified in the Lambda VOI, appears to impair vaccine efficacy and is rapidly increasing in prevalence worldwide.

Abstract

The Delta variant of concern (VOC) of SARS-CoV-2 has become dominant worldwide. We report here a cluster caused by B.1.617.2 harboring the additional mutation of concern (MOC) F490S. Infection occurred in 5 fully vaccinated subjects between the ages of 47 and 84. The immune escape mutation F490S, first identified in the Lambda VOI, appears to impair vaccine efficacy and is rapidly increasing in prevalence worldwide.
