COVID-19 in a fully mRNA-1273 vaccinated aspiring Everest summiteer and an Everest trekker who had two doses of ChAdOx1nCoV-19 is presented. Delta B.1.617.2 variant was sequenced in one of the cases. Travellers should be wary of starting up travel to under-vaccinated regions, particularly if they are at high risk for severe disease.
