Effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Baoqi Zeng et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC). The results showed that full vaccination was highly effective against the Alpha variant and moderately effective against the Beta, Gamma, and Delta variants. Booster vaccination was more effective against the Delta and Omicron variants. mRNA vaccines appeared to have higher effectiveness against the VOC compared to other vaccines.

COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Pakistan: A Mini Review of the Published Discourse

Sumaira Khalid et al.

Summary: This minireview summarizes the main findings, features, limitations, and gaps in the current epidemiological research on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the Pakistani population. The reported vaccine hesitancy in the population shows significant heterogeneity, and the included co-variables do not explain the observed variance. The authors conclude that in-depth analysis of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in a representative sample of the Pakistani population is crucial, as it will help measure the magnitude of vaccine hesitancy and identify its determinants.

COVID-19 vaccination in Sindh Province, Pakistan: A modelling study of health impact and cost-effectiveness

Carl A. B. Pearson et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the health and economic impact of different COVID-19 vaccination scenarios in Sindh Province, Pakistan, projecting that vaccination with optimistic vaccine scenarios can have considerable health impacts and be cost-effective. Prioritizing older, high-risk populations may have a smaller advantage in generally younger populations, especially in low- and middle-income countries where transmission rates are higher. Ultimately, the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of vaccination programs depend on various factors such as vaccine performance, distribution, and future pandemic trends.
