Effectiveness of Booster and Influenza Vaccines against COVID-19 among Healthcare Workers, Taiwan
Jun Yi Sim, Ping-Sheng Wu, Ching-Feng Cheng, You-Chen Chao, Chun-Hsien Yu
Abstract
Among previously uninfected healthcare workers in Taiwan, mRNA COVID-19 booster vaccine was associated with lower odds of COVID-19 after primary recombinant vaccine. Symptom-triggered testing revealed that tetravalent influenza vaccine was associated with higher odds of SARS-CoV-2 infection. COVID-19 vaccination continues to be most effective against SARS-CoV-2.
