Abstract

Background: India introduced BBV152/Covaxin and AZD1222/Covishield vaccines from January 2021. We estimated effectiveness of these vaccines against severe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among individuals aged ≥45 years.
Methods: We did a multi-centric, hospital-based, case-control study between May and July 2021. Cases were severe COVID-19 patients and controls were COVID-19 negative individuals from 11 hospitals. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was estimated for full (2 doses ≥14days) and partial (1 dose ≥21 days) vaccination; duration between two vaccine doses and against the Delta variant. We used a random effects logistic regression model to calculate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% CI after adjusting for relevant known confounders.
Results: We enrolled 1,143 cases and 2,541 controls. The VE of full vaccination was 85% (95% CI: 79%-89%) with AZD1222/Covishield and 71% (95% CI: 57%-81%) with BBV152/Covaxin. The VE was highest for an interval of 6-8 weeks between two doses of AZD1222/Covishield (94%, 95% CI: 86%-97%) and BBV152/Covaxin (93%, 95% CI: 34%-99%). The VE estimates were similar against the Delta strain and sub-lineages.
Conclusion: BBV152/Covaxin and AZD1222/Covishield were effective against severe COVID-19 among the Indian population during the period of dominance of highly transmissible Delta variant in second wave of pandemic. An escalation of two-dose coverage with COVID-19 vaccines is critical to reduce severe COVID-19 and further mitigate the pandemic in the country.
