COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness on variants of concern
Observational studies
Protocol
Our protocol is available on Zenodo here .Last search data: Nov 3, 2021.
The project stopped after this date and the analysis presented include eligible studies up to Nov 3, 2021.
Variants of concern
We identified observational studies assessing vaccine effectiveness on variant from the studies identified by Krause P et al. Lancet 2021 and the process described in our protocol .Vaccine effectiveness is based on direct evidence but also indirect evidence (i.e., variant exposure extrapolated the prevalence of the variant in the population) reported in the manuscript or in secondary sources.
Risk of bias assessment is ongoing and may be missing on the forest plots.

Description of primary studies
In this table, we report the main characteristics of the Non randomized studies identified. The risk of bias by domain as well as overall risk of bias reported in the table corresponds to the highest risk of bias for the outcomes assessed for the systematic review.| Trial | Design | Variant | Participants | Comparisons | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Intervention 1 | Intervention 2 | Overall risk of bias Highest assessment |
