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 report provides an updated overview on the progress of national COVID-19 vaccination strategies and deployment in European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries, including updates on overall vaccine uptake and uptake by target group and vaccination strategies and policies.
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.
This document reports on one of ECDC’s multi-country studies in the hospital setting to measure product-specific COVID-19 VE against any laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers (HCWs) eligible for vaccination.
