ABSTRACT

We present two Delta (B.1.617.2) vaccine breakthrough individuals, a father and son living in separate households. The older, 63-year-old patient's symptoms were severe enough to require hospitalization. Despite having a high titer of anti-spike IgG in his serum, his symptoms resolved within 24 hours following monoclonal antibody (bamlanivimab/etesevimab) therapy.
