Effectiveness and duration of protection of a fourth dose of Coronavirus disease 2019 messenger RNA vaccine among long-term care residents in Ontario, Canada

Share

We estimated the effectiveness of a fourth dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine against Omicron infections and severe outcomes over time among long-term care residents in Ontario, Canada. Fourth doses provide additional protection against Omicron-related outcomes, but the protection wanes over time, with more waning seen against infection than severe outcomes.
