A 90-year-old Belgian woman died after she became infected with two different strains of COVID-19 at the same time, scientists revealed Sunday.

Her case was the first documented of a patient infected with two strains, although the “phenomenon is probably underestimated,” one of the lead researchers said, according to Agence France-Presse.

The patient, who was not vaccinated, became sick in March with the Alpha and Beta strains of the virus, which were first identified in the United Kingdom and South Africa, respectively, according to scientists at the European Congress on Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases.

My mother has a couple of conditions that would make her high risk if she took the vaccine.

Sounds to me that your mother made an informed decision based on her medical condition(s) including age.

... She survived Covid already so hopefully she is immune already.

Perhaps she should consider taking the Covid antibody test.
