We compared vaccine effectiveness against severe COVID-19 between December 2021 and March 2022 when Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 were the dominating SARS-CoV-2 variants in Scania county, Sweden. Effectiveness remained above 80% after the transition from BA.1 to BA.2 among people with at least three vaccine doses but the point estimate decreased markedly to 54% among those with only two doses. Protection from prior infection was also lower after the transition to BA.2. Booster vaccination seems necessary to maintain sufficient protection.
我们比较了 2021 年 12 月至 2022 年 3 月期间,当 Omicron BA.1 和 BA.2 是瑞典斯科讷省主导的 SARS-CoV-2 变种时,疫苗对重症 COVID-19 的有效性。在 BA.1 向 BA.2 过渡后,至少接种三剂疫苗的人群中的有效性仍保持在 80%以上,但仅接种两剂疫苗的人群中的估计值显著下降至 54%。感染后预防保护在向 BA.2 过渡后也降低。加强疫苗接种似乎是保持足够保护的必要措施。
