Age-stratified analysis of COVID-19 severity outcomes among vaccinees and individuals with prior SARS-CoV-2 exposure in Indiana FSPH_IU COVID19 SARSCoV2 COVID19 Indiana Analysis
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaDec 21 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent study published in the American Journal of Public Health, researchers assessed the effectiveness of vaccine-conferred immune protection against novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections, any-cause visits to hospitals and emergency departments , and deaths in Indiana.
The team leveraged population health vaccination data and electronic medical records from the INPC and the Indiana vaccination registry to match individuals who had been administered ≥1.0 dose of COVID-19 vaccines with individuals having prior COVID-19 history. The study participants were matched for index dates, sex, age, ethnicity/race, postal codes, clinical diagnosis, and comorbidities identified by the CDC to be a suggestive or conclusive risk factor for severe SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Results Related StoriesA total of 736,193 previously infected individuals and 2,798,709 previously vaccinated individuals were identified from the INPC between 29 November 2020 and 9 February 2022, from which 267,847 matched individual pairs were obtained. After six months of index dates, COVID-19 incidence was significantly greater among vaccinees than individuals with prior COVID-19 history . Any-cause deaths among vaccinees, however, were 37.
Among adult individuals aged between 20 and 39 years, at six months, the incidence rates of SARS-CoV-2 infections were greater among vaccinees than previously infected individuals at six months. However, the incidence rate of any-cause ED visits was greater among previously infected individuals compared to previously vaccinated individuals . Likewise, at 6.
