Abstract

ABSTRACT We estimated XBB.1.5 vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization/death among adults aged ≥50 years. Compared with non-XBB.1.5 vaccinees, the initial protection of 64% (95%CI, 57%−69%) was reduced when JN/KP-sublineages became predominant, and quickly declined. No significant protection was observed >6 months post-vaccination. Short durability of protection poses unique challenges for COVID-19 vaccination.
