Number of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection cases in study using sequencing data in Department of Defense Global Respiratory Pathogen Surveillance Program, United States. Frequency of different SARS-CoV-2 variants relative to the number of days between the first and second specimen collection dates. One reinfection case was caused by a pre–variant of concern lineage, 1 case was a reinfection with an Alpha variant, and several cases were reinfections with a Delta variant. However, most reinfections were caused by Omicron variants. In addition, reinfections that occurred <90 days from the first infection were caused by Omicron 21K. One reinfection was caused by the XZ variant, a recombination of Omicron 21K and 21L.
