Association of COVID-19 Vaccination and Incident c Infection Among Health Care Personnel
A recent study published in JAMA examines the association between COVID-19 vaccination and the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare personnel. The study analyzed data from over 150,000 healthcare workers and found that vaccination was associated with a significantly reduced risk of contracting the virus. The researchers observed a notable decrease in the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among vaccinated individuals compared to those who were unvaccinated. Additionally, the study highlights the effectiveness of mRNA-based vaccines, such as those developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, in preventing infection. The findings reinforce the importance of widespread vaccination efforts to protect healthcare workers who are at high risk of exposure to the virus.
