Waning mRNA-1273 Vaccine Effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Qatar
Open accessAbstract
vaccine was associated with neutralization titers against the omicron variant that were 20.0 times higher than those assessed after the second dose of vaccine, and these titers may substantially reduce the risk of breakthrough infection.The decline in neutralization of the omicron variant 6 months after the booster injection was similar to the decline in neutralization titers against the D614G variant 7 months after the second dose.The limitations of our study include small sample sets that may not reflect neutralization in diverse populations, differences in the length of time before boosting among the groups, and a lack of post-boost efficacy data.These limitations may be addressed in further studies.

Matching on sex, age, nationality, and calendar week was previously shown to adequately control for differences in SARS-CoV-2 exposure risk in Qatar.
“Matching according to these factors was previously shown to provide adequate control of differences in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in studies of different designs, all of which involved control groups, such as test-negative, case–control studies.”

The inclusion and exclusion criteria were implemented to allow immunity to build after vaccination and to reduce several potential biases.
“These inclusion and exclusion criteria were implemented to allow for build-up of immunity after vaccination4,14 and to minimize different types of potential bias, as informed by earlier analyses in the same population.”

Extensive sensitivity and additional analyses were conducted to investigate potential bias in earlier studies using similar methods, and these analyses showed consistent findings.
“Extensive sensitivity and additional analyses were conducted to investigate effects of potential bias in our earlier studies that used similar methods. These included different adjustments and controls in the analysis and different study inclusion and exclusion criteria to investigate whether effectiveness estimates could have been biased.12,22 These analyses showed consistent findings.2,3,12,17,2”

Matching was not possible for coexisting conditions, but matching on sex, age, and nationality provided demonstrable control of bias in earlier studies.
“Although matching was performed according to sex, age, and nationality, matching was not possible for other factors, such as coexisting conditions. However, matching according to these factors provided demonstrable control of bias in our earlier studies.11,12,15,21,22”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
