COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2 BA...
Lanièce Delaunay, Charlotte; Martínez-Baz, Iván; Sève, Noémie; Domegan, Lisa; Mazagatos, Clara; Buda, Silke; Meijer, Adam; Kislaya, IrinaBackground: Scarce European data in early 2021 suggested lower vaccine effectiveness (VE) against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineages than previous variants. Aim: We aimed to estimate primary series (PS) and first booster VE against symptomatic BA.1/BA.2 infection and investigate potential biases. Methods: This European test-negative multicentre study tested primary care patients with acute respiratory symptoms for SAR...
Health and economic impact of seasonal influenza mass vaccination strategies in...
Sandmann, Frank; van Leeuwen, Edwin; Bernard-Stoecklin, Sibylle; Casado, Itziar; Castilla, Jesús; Domegan, Lisa; Gherasim, Alin; Hooiveld, MariëtteIntroduction: Despite seasonal influenza vaccination programmes in most countries targeting individuals aged ≥ 65 (or ≥ 55) years and high risk-groups, significant disease burden remains. We explored the impact and cost-effectiveness of 27 vaccination programmes targeting the elderly and/or children in eight European settings (n = 205.8 million). Methods: We used an age-structured dynamic-transmission model to ...
Effectiveness of complete primary vaccination against COVID-19 at primary care ...
Kissling, Esther; Hooiveld, Mariëtte; Martínez-Baz, Iván; Mazagatos, Clara; William, Naoma; Vilcu, Ana-Maria; Kooijman, Marjolein N.; Ilić, MajaIntroduction: In July and August 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant dominated in Europe. Aim: Using a multicentre test-negative study, we measured COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) against symptomatic infection. Methods: Individuals with COVID-19 or acute respiratory symptoms at primary care/community level in 10 European countries were tested for SARS-CoV-2. We measured complete primary course overall VE by ...
Impact of influenza vaccination programmes among the elderly population on prim...
Machado, Ausenda; Mazagatos, Clara; Dijkstra, Frederika; Kislaya, Irina; Gherasim, Alin; McDonald, Scott A.; Kissling, Esther; Valenciano, MartaTo increase the acceptability of influenza vaccine, it is important to quantify the overall benefits of the vaccination programme.AimTo assess the impact of influenza vaccination in Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands, we estimated the number of medically attended influenza-confirmed cases (MAICC) in primary care averted in the seasons 2015/16 to 2017/18 among those ≥ 65 years.We used an ecological approach to ...
Low 2018/19 vaccine effectiveness against influenza A(H3N2) among 15-64-year-ol...
Kissling, Esther; Pozo, Francisco; Buda, Silke; Vilcu, Ana-Maria; Gherasim, Alin; Brytting, Mia; Domegan, Lisa; Gómez, Verónica; Meijer, AdamIntroduction: Influenza A(H3N2) clades 3C.2a and 3C.3a co-circulated in Europe in 2018/19. Immunological imprinting by first childhood influenza infection may induce future birth cohort differences in vaccine effectiveness (VE). Aim: The I-MOVE multicentre primary care test-negative study assessed 2018/19 influenza A(H3N2) VE by age and genetic subgroups to explore VE by birth cohort. Methods: We measured VE ag...
