Simulated in‐host viral dynamics. The simulation assumes (1) a basic reproduction number R 0 of 2.4 and an infectious period D of 6 days for the wildtype infection and an R 0 of 4 and D of 4 days for a Delta‐like VOC infection; (2) lower antibody affinity for the Delta‐like VOC leading to a 15% reduction in immune response; and (3) for the recently vaccinated or boosted, immune response is 25% faster and stronger than those not recently vaccinated. VOC, variant of concern
