BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine in a Nationwide Mass Vaccination Setting

Noa Dagan et al.

Summary: A study conducted in Israel on nearly 600,000 individuals showed that the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine was effective in reducing the risk of infection, hospitalization, and severe Covid-19. The effectiveness in preventing death was 72% during the period from day 14 through day 20 after the first dose, and hospitalization was reduced by 87% for the period 7 or more days after the second dose, similar to results from a randomized trial.

Association Between Vaccination With BNT162b2 and Incidence of Symptomatic and Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Infections Among Health Care Workers

Yoel Angel et al.

Summary: This cohort study in Tel Aviv, Israel, found that vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine was significantly associated with a lower incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection among health care workers more than 7 days after the second dose.

Outbreaks of COVID-19 variants in US prisons: a mathematical modelling analysis of vaccination and reopening policies

Theresa Ryckman et al.

Summary: This study uses mathematical modelling to evaluate the risks and harms of COVID-19 outbreaks in prisons, finding that high vaccination coverage and non-pharmaceutical interventions can significantly reduce infection rates. Even in prisons with low infection rates, the hospitalization risks for medically vulnerable populations remain substantial.

Interim findings from first-dose mass COVID-19 vaccination roll-out and COVID-19 hospital admissions in Scotland: a national prospective cohort study

Eleftheria Vasileiou et al.

Summary: The study in Scotland found that the first doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA and ChAdOx1 vaccines were associated with substantial reductions in the risk of COVID-19 hospital admission, with vaccine effectiveness ranging from 88% to 91% at 28-34 days post-vaccination.

Impact and effectiveness of mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations, and deaths following a nationwide vaccination campaign in Israel: an observational study using national surveillance data

Eric J. Haas et al.

Summary: This study assessed the real-world effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine BNT162b2 in Israel, showing high efficacy in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations, severe disease, and death. As vaccine coverage increased, there were marked declines in SARS-CoV-2 outcomes, indicating that COVID-19 vaccination can help control the pandemic.

COVID-19 in the California State Prison System: an Observational Study of Decarceration, Ongoing Risks, and Risk Factors

Elizabeth T. Chin et al.

Summary: The study observed a 19.1% decrease in the incarcerated population in California state prisons during the COVID-19 pandemic. It found that nearly 40% of residents with high COVID-19 risk scores lived in dormitories, where infection rates were higher compared to cell residents. Additionally, residents of rooms with labor participation also had higher infection rates. Further reducing risks in prisons will require a combination of strategies, including rehousing, decarceration, and vaccination.

Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine through 6 Months

S. J. Thomas et al.

Summary: BNT162b2 vaccine remains highly effective and safe over the course of 6 months post-vaccination, with efficacy rates ranging from 86% to 100% across different demographics and risk factors for Covid-19. The vaccine also shows a high efficacy against severe disease, with particularly promising results observed in South Africa against the B.1.351 variant.
