Covid reinfection possibility?
Father had covid last year in April, and his oxygen levels were 92-93 for few days due to which he was also on mild oxygen support for few days.
In August, he also had his second dose of covaxin.
Now since the cases are rising again, is it possible to catch covid once more?
Asking because he is in Railway and faces a lot of people per day and govt is not giving any relaxations.
He is well masked and sanitises himself, but still, any more tips? Diet tips as well?

Yes chances of reinfection are there as this is a new variant which might not be fully covered by vaccine.
So better is to continue taking all due precautions and get the booster dose also if eligible
