Primary Series Vaccine Effectiveness Against Hospitalization (All Studies)

Vaccine Effectiveness Against Hospitalization

Footnotes: Vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates for each platform are calculated with updated data using methods specified in the relevant publication(s) listed in the references section. Analyses are adjusted for factors* related to vaccination and to the likelihood of testing positive for the virus that causes COVID-19. Differences in estimates (over time or between platforms) might be due to differences in demographic, health and other characteristics of vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, changes in immunity over time, changes in circulating virus variants, or a combination of these factors. By late June 2021, >99% of virus sequences were the Delta variant and by late January 2022, >99% of virus sequences were the Omicron variant; therefore, VE estimates from July–December 2021 represent VE for the Delta variant and VE estimates from January 2022–present represent VE for the Omicron variant. VE estimates prior to July 2021 represent a mix of circulating variants.
*All analyses adjust for time, region/study site, age, sex, race/ethnicity. VISION estimates also adjust for additional factors related to a person’s likelihood of vaccination.
Horizontal lines indicate average vaccine effectiveness over the months indicated; vertical lines indicate the 95% confidence interval around the vaccine effectiveness point estimate.
As of December 17, 2021, the SUPERNOVA platform has ended and will not be providing additional estimates.
