Abstract:
Vaccine effectiveness (VE) against COVID-19 hospitalization was evaluated among immunocompetent adults (≥18 years) during March–August 2021 using a case-control design. Among 1669 hospitalized COVID-19 cases (11% fully vaccinated) and 1950 RT-PCR–negative controls (54% fully vaccinated), VE was 96% (95% confidence interval [CI], 93%–98%) among patients with no chronic medical conditions and 83% (95% CI, 76%–88%) among patients with ≥ 3 categories of conditions. VE was similar between those aged 18–64 years versus ≥65 years (P & gt; .05). VE against severe COVID-19 was very high among adults without chronic conditions and lessened with increasing comorbidity burden.
