Waning 2- and 3-Dose Immunity During the Delta and Omicron Waves

Characteristic Vaccine Effectiveness Against Hospitalization % (95% CI)
Delta Omicron
Any mRNA vaccine, 2 doses 85 (84–85) 55 (50–60)
 <2 mo 94 (92-96) 71 (51-83)
 2-3 mo 91 (89-92) 65 (53-74)
 4 mo 90 (89-92) 58 (38-71)
 ≥5 mo 82 (82-83) 54 (48-59)
Any mRNA vaccine, 3 doses 95 (95-96) 88 (86-90)
 <2 mo 96 (95-97) 91 (88-93)
 2-3 mo 93 (91-95) 88 (85-90)
 ≥4 mo 76 (14-93) 78 (67-85)

Findings from a test-negative case control study conducted by Ferdinands et al (2022)15 using data from 8 VISION Network sites, United States. Overall, vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization was lower during the Omicron than during the Delta wave, and administration of a third dose significantly increased protection against hospital admission.
