  1. *COVID-19 denotes coronavirus disease 2019. The Ministry of Health launched a COVID-19 vaccine first booster campaign on August 11, 2021, and a second booster campaign on February 14, 2022. The table shows the estimated vaccine effectiveness of mRNA-based second vaccine boosters for individuals with four different three-dose background regimes: (1) BNT162b2 primary series plus a homologous booster (3mRNA), a CoronaVac primary series plus (2) mRNA booster (CC+mRNA), (3) homologous booster (CCC), or (4) ChAdOx-1 booster (CCA), compared to unvaccinated individuals. Estimates were adjusted for time-varying vaccination exposure and clinical, demographic, and socioeconomic confounders at baseline (Supplementary Tables S1S5).
