Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine in Chile In a national prospective cohort study involving 10.2 million participants in Chile, the effectiveness of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, which had been developed in China and administered in two doses 28 days apart, was estimated. Effectiveness among fully immunized persons was estimated at 65.9% for Covid-19 and at 87.5% for hospitalization, 90.3% for ICU admission, and 86.3% for death.

Resumen | Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine in Chile In a national prospective cohort study involving 10.2 million participants in Chile, the effectiveness of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, which had been developed in China and administered in two doses 28 days apart, was estimated. Effectiveness among fully immunized persons was estimated at 65.9% for Covid-19 and at 87.5% for hospitalization, 90.3% for ICU admission, and 86.3% for death. Background Mass vaccination campaigns to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) are occurring in many countries; estimates of vaccine effectiveness are urgently needed to support decision making. A countrywide mass vaccination campaign with the use of an inactivated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine (CoronaVac) was conducted in Chile starting on February 2, 2021. Methods We used a prospective national cohort, including participants 16 years of age or older who were affiliated with the public national health care system, to assess the effectiveness of the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine with regard to preventing Covid-19 and related hospitalization, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and death. We estimated hazard ratios using the extension of the Cox proportional-hazards model, accounting for time-varying vaccination status. We estimated the change in the hazard ratio associated with partial immunization (>= 14 days after receipt of the first dose and before receipt of the second dose) and full immunization (>= 14 days after receipt of the second dose). Vaccine effectiveness was estimated with adjustment for individual demographic and clinical characteristics. Results The study was conducted from February 2 through May 1, 2021, and the cohort included approximately 10.2 million persons. Among persons who were fully immunized, the adjusted vaccine effectiveness was 65.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 65.2 to 66.6) for the prevention of Covid-19 and 87.5% (95% CI, 86.7 to 88.2) for the prevention of hospitalization, 90.3% (95% CI, 89.1 to 91.4) for the prevention of ICU admission, and 86.3% (95% CI, 84.5 to 87.9) for the prevention of Covid-19-related death. Conclusions Our results suggest that the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine effectively prevented Covid-19, including severe disease and death, a finding that is consistent with results of phase 2 trials of the vaccine.
