Description:

What is already known about this topic? Although COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness decreased with emergence of the Delta Variants and waning of vaccine-induced immunity, protection against hospitalization and death has remained high.

What is added by this report? In 25 U.S. jurisdictions, decreases in case incidence rate ratios for unvaccinated versus fully vaccinated persons with and without booster vaccine doses were observed when the Omicron Variants emerged in December 2021. Protection against infection and death during the Delta-predominant period against infection during Omicron emergence were higher among booster vaccine dose recipients, and especially among persons aged 50–64 and ≥65 years.

What are the implications for public health practice? COVID-19 vaccination protected against SARS-CoV-2 infection, even as the Omicron Variants became predominant. All eligible persons should stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination.
