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.
