Description
Camelia Savulescu and co-authors tracked COVID infections and booster vaccine performance among European hospital staff from 2021 to 2023, in work published in 2024. The catalog creator list is cut off mid name, while the head gives the full study group. About three thousand staff in nineteen hospitals gave regular test samples.
Infection rates were far higher during the Omicron period than in earlier waves. A first booster added protection over the basic course, about half in the first three months of the Omicron wave, fading later. During the Delta wave the added benefit was less certain. The authors say such worker cohorts are key for guiding health policy in future waves.
