Abstract :

COVID‑19) vaccines are available to prevent the ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) pandemic. We compared the efficacy of new COVID‑19 vaccines to prevent symptomatic and severe disease in the adult population and to prevent symptomatic COVID‑19 among the elderly. Leading medical databases were searched until August 30, 2021. Published phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated efficacy of the vaccine to prevent symptomatic and sever COVID‑19 in adults were included. Two reviewers independently evaluated the literature search results and independently extracted summary data. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool.
In our indirect comparison, the BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 vaccines, which use mRNA technology, were associated with the highest efficacy in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 compared to the other vaccines. The compared vaccines were not different in efficacy to prevent severe disease. We found no difference between vaccines’ efficacy to prevent symptomatic COVID-19 among the elderly.
