Abstract
Background
On September 2, 2022, bivalent COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, were recommended to address reduced effectiveness of COVID-19 monovalent vaccines during SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant predominance.
Methods
Using national pharmacy-based SARS-CoV-2 testing program data from January 15 to September 11, 2023, this test-negative, case–control design study assessed bivalent COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) against symptomatic infection.
Results
VE against symptomatic infection of a bivalent dose between 2 weeks and 1 month after bivalent vaccination ranged from 46% (95% CI: 38%–52%) for those aged ≥ 65 years to 61% (95% CI 41%–75%) for those aged 12–17 years.
Conclusion
Bivalent vaccines protected against symptomatic infection. However, effectiveness waned over time, emphasizing the need to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination.
