Table 3 Efficacy assumptions against the resident variants and for our illustrative Variants of Concern (VOCs) with immune ecscape (VOC E and VOC LT + E, with efficacies for these VOCs stated in parentheses). We computed the efficacies against VOCs as the product of the proportional vaccine efficacy and the efficacy against the resident variants. For a summary table of source studies, see Supplementary Table 1.
