Soares, Patricia; Machado, Ausenda; Nicolay, Nathalie; Monge, Susana; Sacco, Chiara; Hansen, Christian Holm; Meijerink, Hinta; Martínez-Baz, IvánBackground: During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination programmes targeted children and adolescents to prevent severe outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Aim: To estimate COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) against hospitalisation due to COVID-19 in the paediatric population, among those with and without previously documented SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: We established a fixed cohort followed f...
Effectiveness of the XBB.1.5 COVID-19 Vaccines Against SARS-CoV-2 Hospitalisati...
Antunes, Liliana; Rojas-Castro, Madelyn; Lozano, Marcos; Martínez-Baz, Iván; Leroux-Roels, Isabel; Borg, Maria-Louise; Oroszi, BeatrixWe estimated the effectiveness of the adapted monovalent XBB.1.5 COVID-19 vaccines against PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 hospitalisation during the BA.2.86/JN.1 lineage-predominant period using a multicentre test-negative case-control study in Europe. We included older adults (≥ 65 years) hospitalised with severe acute respiratory infection from November 2023 to May 2024. Vaccine effectiveness was 46% at 14-59 days ...

Antunes, Liliana; Mazagatos, Clara; Martínez‐Baz, Iván; Naesens, Reinout; Borg, Maria‐Louise; Petrović, Goranka; Fatukasi, Terra; Jancoriene, LigitaWe conducted a multicentre test-negative case–control study covering the period from October 2023 to January 2024 among adult patients aged ≥18 years hospitalised with severe acute respiratory infection in Europe. We provide early estimates of the effectiveness of the newly adapted XBB.1.5 COVID-19 vaccines against PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 hospitalisation. Vaccine effectiveness was 49% overall, ranging between ...

Monge, Susana; Humphreys, James; Nicolay, Nathalie; Braeye, Toon; Van Evercooren, Izaak; Holm Hansen, Christian; Emborg, Hanne‐Dorthe; Sacco, ChiaraUsing a common protocol across seven countries in the European Union/European Economic Area, we estimated XBB.1.5 monovalent vaccine effectiveness (VE) against COVID-19 hospitalisation and death in booster-eligible ≥ 65-year-olds, during October–November 2023. We linked electronic records to construct retrospective cohorts and used Cox models to estimate adjusted hazard ratios and derive VE. VE for COVID-19 hos...

Fontán-Vela, Mario; Kissling, Esther; Nicolay, Nathalie; Braeye, Toon; Van Evercooren, Izaak; Holm Hansen, Christian; Emborg, Hanne-DortheSince 2021, the Vaccine Effectiveness, Burden and Impact Studies of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza (VEBIS) project monitors vaccine effectiveness (VE) in real-world conditions to inform vaccination programmes in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries [1]. One project aims to monitor real-time COVID-19 VE using electronic health registries (EHR) in multiple countries, wit...
Vaccine effectiveness against influenza hospitalisation in adults during the 20...
Rose, Angela M. C.; Pozo, Francisco; Martínez‐Baz, Iván; Mazagatos, Clara; Bossuyt, Nathalie; Cauchi, John Paul; Petrović, Goranka; Loghin, Isabela I.We conducted a multicentre hospital-based test-negative case–control study to measure vaccine effectiveness (VE) against PCR-confirmed influenza in adult patients with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) during the 2022/2023 influenza season in Europe. Among 5547 SARI patients ≥18 years, 2963 (53%) were vaccinated against influenza. Overall VE against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 was 11% (95% CI: −23–36); 20% (...

Antunes, Liliana; Mazagatos, Clara; Martínez-Baz, Iván; Gómez, Verónica; Borg, Maria-Louise; Petrović, Goranka; Duffy, Róisín; Dufrasne, François EThe European Medicines Agency (EMA) authorised four adapted bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for use against COVID-19 in September/October 2022: Comirnaty (BNT162b2; Pfizer-BioNTech) and Spikevax (mRNA-1273; Moderna) Original/Omicron BA.1 and Original/Omicron BA.4–5 [1]. During autumn 2022, all European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries had vaccination campaigns in place to administer a booster dos...

Kislaya, Irina; Sentís, Alexis; Starrfelt, Jostein; Nunes, Baltazar; Martínez‐Baz, Iván; Nielsen, Katrine Finderup; AlKerwi, Ala'a; Braeye, ToonBackground: Within the ECDC-VEBIS project, we prospectively monitored vaccine effectiveness (VE) against COVID-19 hospitalisation and COVID-19-related death using electronic health registries (EHR), between October 2021 and November 2022, in community-dwelling residents aged 65-79 and ≥80 years in six European countries. Methods: EHR linkage was used to construct population cohorts in Belgium, Denmark, Luxembou...

Rose, Angela M.C.; Nicolay, Nathalie; Sandonis Martín, Virginia; Mazagatos, Clara; Petrović, Goranka; Baruch, Joaquin; Denayer, Sarah; Seyler, LucieIntroduction: The I-MOVE-COVID-19 and VEBIS hospital networks have been measuring COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) in participating European countries since early 2021. Aim: We aimed to measure VE against PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 in patients ≥ 20 years hospitalised with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) from December 2021 to July 2022 (Omicron-dominant period). Methods: In both networks, 46 hospitals...

Rose, Angela M.C.; Nicolay, Nathalie; Sandonis Martín, Virginia; Mazagatos, Clara; Petrović, Goranka; Niessen, F Annabel; Machado, AusendaIntroduction: Two large multicentre European hospital networks have estimated vaccine effectiveness (VE) against COVID-19 since 2021. Aim: We aimed to measure VE against PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 in hospitalised severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) patients ≥ 20 years, combining data from these networks during Alpha (March–June)- and Delta (June–December)-dominant periods, 2021. Methods: Forty-six participati...
