Figure Lengend Snippet: SARS-CoV-2 positivity, COVID-19 hospitalizations, and variants trends November- December 2021. (a) SARS-CoV-2 daily positivity rates between November and December 2021 for both symptomatic and asymptomatic testing. (b) COVID-19 related admissions between November and December 2021. (c) SARS-CoV-2 variant distribution between November and December 2021 relative to the 7 day rolling average positives from Johns Hopkins system. (d) Percent SARS-CoV-2 variants in November and December 2021.

Figure Lengend Snippet: SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels in upper respiratory samples of infected vaccinated patients. Boost, patients with booster dose; Vax, fully vaccinated patients who didn't receive a booster dose. Dashed lines demarcate the limit of borderline and negative ELISA results as specified per assay's package insert. Statistical analyses, one-way ANOVA. Total numbers per group are shown on top of each scatter.
