People who had only two initial doses of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine fared no better against Omicron than those who were unvaccinated, new study finds.
Both Pfizer and Moderna’s Omicron boosters are "bivalent" vaccines, meaning they protect against Omicron BA.5 and BA.4 subvariants and the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. "The goal of a COVID vaccine ...
Though COVID-19 vaccines and boosters provide strong protection against severe disease, hospitalizations, and deaths, the quickly-spreading Omicron variant remains a significant challenge.
A January 2022 study by the UK Health Security Agency found that vaccines afforded similar levels of protection against symptomatic disease by BA.1 and BA.2, and in both it was considerably higher after two doses and a booster than two doses without booster, [263] [264] though because of the gradually waning effect of vaccines, further booster ...
Danish study shows decline in vaccine protection against omicron is restored with Pfizer booster Fact-check: Did a study show vaccinated people more likely to be infected with omicron? Skip to ...
BA.2.86 was first reported by Denmark and Israel. [1] [11] On 18 August 2023, when only six cases had been reported from four countries (Denmark, Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States), the British healthcare authorities noted that its almost simultaneous appearance in several countries still operating detailed genomic surveillance indicated that it likely already was spreading more ...
A test-negative [note 1] case-control study published in August 2021, found that two doses of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer) vaccine had 93.7% effectiveness against symptomatic disease caused by the alpha (B.1.1.7) variant and 88.0% effectiveness against symptomatic disease caused by the delta (B.1.617.2) variant. [87]
The agency also evaluated data from human studies of bivalent booster vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna targeting Omicron BA.1, an earlier version of the virus that is no longer circulating ...
