SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve, population immunity changes, and COVID-19 vaccine formulas have been updated, necessitating ongoing COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) monitoring.
To evaluate the VE of 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines against COVID-19-associated emergency department (ED) and urgent care (UC) encounters, hospitalizations, and critical illness, including during XBB- and JN.1-predominant periods.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This test-negative design VE case-control study was conducted using data from September 21, 2023, to August 22, 2024, from EDs, UC centers, and hospitals in 6 US health care systems. Eligible adults 18 years or older with COVID-19-like illness and molecular or antigen testing for SARS-CoV-2 were studied. Case patients were those with a positive molecular or antigen test result; control patients were those with a negative molecular test result.
Receipt of 2023-2024 (monovalent XBB.1.5) COVID-19 vaccination with products approved or authorized for use in the US.
Main outcomes were COVID-19-associated ED and UC encounters, hospitalizations, and critical illness (admission to the intensive care unit or in-hospital death). VE was estimated comparing the odds of receipt of the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine with no receipt among case and control patients.
Among 345 639 eligible ED and UC encounters in immunocompetent adults 18 years or older with COVID-19-like illness and available test results (median [IQR] age, 53 [34-71] years; 209 087 [60%] female), 37 096 (11%) had a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result. VE against COVID-19-associated ED and UC encounters was 24% (95% CI, 21%-26%) during 7 to 299 days after vaccination. Among 111 931 eligible hospitalizations in immunocompetent adults 18 years or older with COVID-19-like illness and available test results (median [IQR] age, 71 [58-81] years), 10 380 (9%) had a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result. During 7 to 299 days after vaccination, VE was 29% (95% CI, 25%-33%) against COVID-19-associated hospitalization and 48% (95% CI, 40%-55%) against COVID-19-associated critical illness. VE was highest 7 to 59 days after vaccination (VE against ED and UC encounters 49%; 95% CI, 46%-52%; hospitalization, 51%; 95% CI, 46%-56%; critical illness, 68%; 95% CI, 56%-76%) and then waned (VE 180-299 days after vaccination against ED and UC encounters, -7% [95% CI, -13% to -2%]; hospitalization, -4% [95% CI, -14% to 5%]; and critical illness, 16% [95% CI, -6 to 34%]).
In this case-control study of VE, 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines were estimated to provide additional effectiveness against medically attended COVID-19, with the highest and most sustained estimates against critical illness. These results highlight the importance of receiving recommended COVID-19 vaccination for adults 18 years or older.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)持续演变,人群免疫力发生变化,且2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫苗配方已更新,因此有必要持续监测COVID-19疫苗的有效性(VE)。
评估2023 - 2024年COVID-19疫苗针对与COVID-19相关的急诊科(ED)就诊、紧急护理(UC)就诊、住院和危重症的有效性,包括在XBB和JN.1为主的时期。
设计、设置和参与者:这项检测阴性设计的VE病例对照研究使用了2023年9月21日至2024年8月22日来自美国6个医疗系统的急诊科、UC中心和医院的数据。研究对象为18岁及以上患有COVID-19样疾病且进行了SARS-CoV-2分子或抗原检测的符合条件的成年人。病例患者为分子或抗原检测结果呈阳性者;对照患者为分子检测结果呈阴性者。
接种2023 - 2024年(单价XBB.1.5)经美国批准或授权使用的COVID-19疫苗。
主要结局为与COVID-19相关的ED和UC就诊、住院和危重症(入住重症监护病房或院内死亡)。通过比较病例和对照患者中接种2023 - 2024年COVID-19疫苗与未接种疫苗的几率来估计VE。
在18岁及以上患有COVID-19样疾病且有可用检测结果的免疫功能正常成年人中,有345639次符合条件的ED和UC就诊(年龄中位数[四分位间距]为53[34 - 71]岁;209087[60%]为女性),其中37096例(11%)SARS-CoV-2检测结果呈阳性。接种疫苗后7至299天内,针对与COVID-19相关的ED和UC就诊的VE为24%(95%置信区间[CI],21% - 26%)。在18岁及以上患有COVID-19样疾病且有可用检测结果的免疫功能正常成年人中,有111931次符合条件的住院(年龄中位数[四分位间距]为71[58 - 81]岁),其中10380例(9%)SARS-CoV-2检测结果呈阳性。接种疫苗后7至299天内,针对与COVID-19相关住院的VE为
