Conditions
Covid19
Interventions
Drug: Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine
Drug: CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccine
Drug: ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 Covid-19 Vaccine
Drug: Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 Vaccine
Registration Number
NCT05052307

Brief Summary

The present test-negative design study aims to estimate the real-world effectiveness of Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine on symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and its consequences following a mass vaccination campaign in the city of Toledo in Southern Brazil.

Individuals aged 12 years or older who seek the public healthcare system with symptoms suggestive COVID-19 will be enrolled. Participants with a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for SARS-CoV-2 will be classified as cases, and those with negative PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 will be classified as controls. Cases will be followed-up for a period of one year by means of structured telephone interviews.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Odds of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infectionAt the moment of enrollment

Odds of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection defined by the presence of symptoms suggestive COVID-19 with a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2. Symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 are defined as follows: 1) Acute respiratory illness symptoms (nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, anosmia, sore throat, hoarseness, new or increased-from-baseline cough, sputum production, dyspnea, wheezing, myalgia) OR 2) Admitting diagnosis suggestive of ARI (pneumonia, upper respiratory infection, bronchitis, influenza, cough, asthma, viral respiratory illness, respiratory distress, AND/OR respiratory failure).
