This protocol describes the common methodology to be applied to established health data registries across seven participating EU/EEA Member States to estimate vaccine effectiveness for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children and adolescents aged 5-17 years old.
This protocol presents a common updated methodology to estimate vaccine effectiveness (VE) for COVID-19, using established health data registries in participating European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries.
This core protocol for ECDC studies of VE against hospitalisation with SARI laboratory-confirmed with SARS-CoV-2 or with influenza, version 3.0, represents an update to the main elements for a multi-country hospital-based study of COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in patients hospitalised with SARI, initially published as version 1.0 [5], updated to version 2.0 [6].
This generic protocol for ECDC studies describes the design and methods for a prospective multi-country cohort study of hospital-based healthcare workers (HCWs) to evaluate the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in preventing laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Influenza is a disease of public health importance due to the substantial seasonal morbidity and mortality and the high pandemic potential of its aetiologic agents, influenza viruses.
This document presents the core protocol for ECDC studies of CVE and IVE against symptomatic laboratory-confirmed influenza or SARS-CoV-2 infection, respectively, at primary care level.
This document offers an overview of the available scientific evidence and epidemiological situation and provides public health considerations to support discussions and decisions on the planning and implementation of COVID-19 vaccination campaigns for 2023.
This update reports on one of the ECDC multi-country studies that is centred around the hospital setting and severe disease, with the aim of assessing vaccine effectiveness against severe acuterespiratory infection (SARI) due to laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 within the ECDC VaccineEffectiveness, Burden and Impact Studies infrastructure (VEBIS) [1,2].
This protocol presents a common methodology to estimate vaccine effectiveness (VE) for COVID-19, using established health data registries in participating EU/EEA Member States.
This core protocol for ECDC studies of vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection laboratory-confirmed with SARS-CoV-2 or with influenza, version 2.0, represents an update to the main elements for a multi-country hospital-based study of COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in patients hospitalised with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI), already published as version 1.0.
