Abstract
We assessed the risk of reinfection among all residents in South Korea who tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 from January to August 2022. Children 5-11 years [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 2.20], and 12-17 years old (aHR = 2.00), were at higher risk; whereas 3-dose vaccination (aHR = 0.20) lowered the risk of reinfection.
