The study found that the effectiveness of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for elderly residents in long-term care facilities in Spain was estimated at 71%, 88%, and 97% against SARS-CoV-2 infections, COVID-19 hospitalizations, and deaths, respectively.
Residents in long-term care facilities (LTCF) experienced a large morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain and were prioritised for early COVID-19 vaccination. We used the screening method and population-based data sources to obtain estimates of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness for elderly LTCF residents. The estimates were 71% (95% CI: 56-82%), 88% (95% CI: 75-95%), and 97% (95% CI: 92-99%), against SARS-CoV-2 infections (symptomatic and asymptomatic), and COVID-19 hospitalisations and deaths, respectively.
