KEY POINTS
The omicron BQ coronavirus subvariants have risen to dominance in the U.S. as people gather and travel for the Thanksgiving holiday, putting people with compromised immune systems at increased risk.
BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 are causing 57% of new infections in the U.S., according to CDC data.
The BQ subvariants are likely resistant to key antibody medications used by people with compromised immune systems, putting them at increased risk.
The more immune-evasive XBB subvariant is also circulating at a low level.
