Association Between 3 Doses of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine and Symptomatic Infection Caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta Variants

Emma K. Accorsi et al.

Summary: Assessing the performance of COVID-19 vaccines against the Omicron variant is crucial for public health guidance. This study found that receiving three doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine was associated with a lower likelihood of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to being unvaccinated or receiving two doses. These findings suggest that three doses of mRNA vaccine provide protection against both Omicron and Delta variants, though the protection against Omicron may be slightly lower.

Final Analysis of Efficacy and Safety of Single-Dose Ad26.COV2.S

J. Sadoff et al.

Summary: The Ad26.COV2.S vaccine was found to be 52.9% effective against moderate to severe-critical Covid-19 after a single dose, with protection lasting for at least 6 months. Efficacy varied depending on the Covid-19 variant, but higher protection was observed against severe cases, medical intervention, and death compared to other outcomes.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccine protection and deaths among US veterans during 2021

Barbara A. Cohn et al.

Summary: This study reports the effectiveness of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection and death in veterans, with a decline in vaccine effectiveness observed for all vaccine types. The decline was greatest for the Janssen vaccine. However, vaccination remained protective against death for individuals who became infected during the Delta variant surge. The study also found variations in the vaccine effectiveness against death among different age groups.

Effectiveness of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Messenger RNA Vaccines for Preventing Coronavirus Disease 2019 Hospitalizations in the United States

Mark W. Tenforde et al.

Summary: From March to May 2021, full vaccination using authorized mRNA products was associated with 87.1% protection against COVID-19 hospitalization among US adults, with lower effectiveness in adults with immunosuppression compared to those without. Vaccination was beneficial for patients with immunosuppression, but the effectiveness was lower in this population.

Vaccines based on replication incompetent Ad26 viral vectors: Standardized template with key considerations for a risk/benefit assessment

Jerome Custers et al.

Summary: This article reviews the safety and efficacy of Ad26 vector-based vaccines in clinical trials, showing good tolerability and immunogenicity in multiple studies. New developments in Ad26-based vaccines, including a COVID-19 vaccine currently in phase 3 clinical evaluation, are promising for vaccine development.

Association Between mRNA Vaccination and COVID-19 Hospitalization and Disease Severity

Mark W. Tenforde et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and COVID-19 hospitalization, as well as disease progression to critical illness among hospitalized patients. The results showed that vaccination with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines significantly decreased the likelihood of COVID-19 hospitalization and disease progression to death or mechanical ventilation.

John P. Moore

Summary: Given the emergence of coronavirus variants and the authorization of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, strategies to maximize vaccine efficacy and distribution include reserving the vaccine for young healthy populations, boosting with a single-dose mRNA vaccine, and single mRNA immunization for those with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine and correlates of humoral immune responses and dynamics: a prospective, single-centre, longitudinal cohort study in health-care workers

Yaniv Lustig et al.

Summary: The study assessed early antibody responses after Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in Israeli healthcare workers. Results showed that 77% of participants had positive IgG response at week 3 after the first vaccine dose, with lower responses in older and immunosuppressed individuals. Timely second dose vaccinations are particularly important for these populations to enhance antibody responses and reduce breakthrough infections.
