Abstract(s)
Since 2021, the Vaccine Effectiveness, Burden and Impact Studies of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza (VEBIS) project monitors vaccine effectiveness (VE) in real-world conditions to inform vaccination programmes in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries [1]. One project aims to monitor real-time COVID-19 VE using electronic health registries (EHR) in multiple countries, with initial findings previously published [2-4]. We report pooled VE results against hospitalisation due to COVID-19 by number of doses received and time since vaccination in a community-dwelling resident population aged ≥ 65 years between October 2021 and July 2023.
