Abstract

Abstract: Healthcare personnel (HCP) are at potential risk for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in occupational and nonoccupational settings, even when fully vaccinated. This risk increased during Delta variant circulation. SARS-CoV-2 testing of fully vaccinated HCP working in the 14 days after exposure is important to prevent virus introduction into healthcare settings.
