Vaccine escape is the term used to describe the process of a virus mutating to form a variant that evades the immune response induced by vaccination. This process is rare, but occurrence depends on factors such as therapeutic targets and viral mutation rates. 2, record 1, English, - vaccine%20escape

Pour parler d’échappement vaccinal stricto sensu, il faut que l’infection survienne au moins deux semaines après l’administration de la deuxième dose d’un vaccin à ARNm. Rien de surprenant, puisqu’il n’a jamais été clamé que l’efficacité vaccinale était de 100 %. Plusieurs questions légitimes se posent néanmoins : Les patients "victimes" d’un échappement vaccinal présentent-ils des particularités communes? Quel est leur profil démographique et clinique ? Quel est le pronostic de la Covid-19 dans ce cas précis, notamment quand une hospitalisation est nécessaire ? 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chappement%20vaccinal

Y precisamente esta capacidad de la variante delta para eludir la respuesta inmune, que se conoce como escape inmunológico o vacunal, facilita la transmisión del virus y hace más difícil la erradicación del COVID. 1, record 1, Spanish, - escape%20inmunol%C3%B3gico
