Effectiveness of monovalent COVID-19 booster/additional vaccine doses in the United States. Vaccine-X. 2024 Jan;16:100447. doi: 10.1016/j.jvacx.2024.100447


BACKGROUND: Monovalent booster/additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines were first authorized in August 2021 in the United States. We evaluated the real-world effectiveness of receipt of a monovalent booster/additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine compared with receiving a primary vaccine series without a booster/additional dose.

Effectiveness of BNT162b2 COVID-19 primary series vaccination in children aged 5–17 years in the United States: a cohort study. BMC Pediatr. 2024 Apr 26;24(1):276. doi: 10.1186/s12887-024-04756-5


BACKGROUND: COVID-19 vaccines are authorized for use in children in the United States; real-world assessment of vaccine effectiveness in children is needed. This study’s objective was to estimate the effectiveness of receiving a complete primary series of monovalent BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) COVID-19 vaccine in US children.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted sexual behaviors and the HIV continuum-of-care in the United States, reducing HIV testing and diagnosis, and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and antiretroviral therapy (ART). We aim to understand the future implications of these effects through a modeling study.
