ABSTRACT
We measured vaccine effectiveness (VE) against COVID-19-related severe outcomes in elderly people in Portugal between May and July 2022. In ≥â¯80 year-olds, the second booster dose VE was 81% (95%â¯CI 75-85) and 82% (95%â¯CI 77-85), respectively, against COVID-19-related hospitalisation and death. The first booster dose VE was 63% (95%â¯CI 55-70) in ≥ 80 year-olds and 74% (95%â¯CI 66-80) in 60-79 year-olds against hospitalisation, and 63% (95%â¯CIâ¯57-69) and 65% (95%â¯CI 54-74) against death.
