Evaluations of vaccine effectiveness (VE) are important to monitor as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are introduced in the general population. Research staff enrolled symptomatic participants seeking outpatient medical care for COVID-19-like illness or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing from a multisite network. VE was evaluated using the test-negative design. Among 236 SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification test-positive and 576 test-negative participants aged ≥16 years, the VE of messenger RNA vaccines against COVID-19 was 91% (95% confidence interval, 83%-95%) for full vaccination and 75% (55%-87%) for partial vaccination. Vaccination was associated with prevention of most COVID-19 cases among people seeking outpatient medical care.
评估疫苗有效性(VE)很重要,因为 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫苗将在普通人群中推出。研究人员从多地点网络招募了有症状的参与者,这些参与者因 COVID-19 样疾病或严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)检测而寻求门诊医疗。使用阴性检测设计评估 VE。在 236 名 SARS-CoV-2 核酸扩增检测阳性和 576 名检测阴性、年龄≥16 岁的参与者中,针对 COVID-19 的信使 RNA 疫苗的完全接种 VE 为 91%(95%置信区间,83%-95%),部分接种 VE 为 75%(55%-87%)。接种疫苗与预防大多数在门诊就医的人发生 COVID-19 病例有关。
