   Interestingly, in addition to these “divergence” mutations, we also found amino acid substitutions representative of the Delta Plus, Iota, and Omicron variants in the mutant spectra of the 5 patients with vaccine breakthrough. In particular, substitution L5F in patient Pt449, present in the Iota variant; A222V in patients Pt450 and Pt453, present in the Delta Plus variant; N679K in patient Pt451, present in the Omicron variant; and P681R in patient Pt452, present in the Delta Plus variant, were found

   Genomic analysis revealed similar viral fitness for Alpha and Iota variants in the Bronx compared to nationwide data. However, Delta and Omicron variants had increased fitness within the borough.
