Brief Summary:
This study will address specific questions concerning the additional protection of the AZ COVID-19 vaccine as a second booster dose in preventing severe COVID-19 outcomes (hospitalisation, ICU admission etc) and will provide data to inform COVID-19 vaccine booster dose recommendations.
Detailed Description:
In Brazil, second COVID-19 boosters became available to specific risk groups in early 2022. By June 2022, immunocompromised individuals aged 12 years and above, individuals aged 50 years and above, and healthcare workers were eligible for a second booster. The vaccines available for second booster doses in Brazil are produced by AstraZeneca (AZ), Janssen, Pfizer and Sinovac.
While several studies have estimated absolute vaccine effectiveness (aVE) or relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of second boosters of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, only a single study has, to date, estimated aVE of AZ vaccine as a second booster dose, and no studies have estimated rVE for AZ vaccine as a second booster dose. As the pandemic progresses, more individuals are choosing to become vaccinated (and boosted) against COVID-19 and thus there is greater need to evaluate the additional protection offered by a second booster dose amongst individuals previously administered a first booster. This is particularly important in the context of waning protection of a first booster dose.
The primary objective is to estimate relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) against COVID-19 hospitalization of the AZ COVID-19 vaccine as a second booster dose relative to a first booster dose only, of any COVID-19 vaccine, administered at least four months ago.
This study will also evaluate rVE of other vaccines used in Brazil as a second booster doses. The study will further evaluate rVE of all vaccines (including the AZ-COVID-19 vaccine) as a first booster dose relative to a complete primary series only, of any COVID-19 vaccine administered at least four months ago."
