最新研究:一线工作人员的疫苗效力正在下降

John Tozzi, 彭博社 2021-08-26
美国疾病控制与预防中心称,新冠疫苗依旧有保护作用。

美国疾病控制与预防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)的报告显示,随着德尔塔变种病毒成为主要病毒株,一线工作者接种新冠疫苗的有效性从之前的91%下降至66%。

该中心称,新冠疫苗依旧有保护作用,而且对于研究结果必须慎重解释,因为疫苗有效性可能会随着时间推移减弱,而且对疫苗效能的估计并不准确。

研究人员在美国疾病控制与预防中心的《发病率和死亡率周报》(Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report)中写道:“虽然中期研究结果显示,新冠疫苗预防感染的有效性有适度下降,但依旧能够将感染风险降低三分之二,这凸显出新冠疫苗的重要性和价值。”

这份研究结果与以色列和英国之前的证据相呼应。两国的研究表明,随着德尔塔变种病毒传播,新冠疫苗在预防感染方面的效果逐步下降。这些结论刺激拜登政府制定了向美国大部分疫苗接种者施打加强针的计划,但该计划仍然在等待监管部门批准。拜登政府计划从9月20日开始施打加强针。

这项观察研究从2020年12月至2021年8月,跟踪了美国6个州8个地点的4000多名医护人员、急救人员和其他一线工作人员。这些人员每周接受一次新冠病毒检测,其中约83%接种了疫苗。

接种新冠疫苗的人员约有三分之二接种的是辉瑞(Pfizer Inc.)-BioNTech疫苗,2%接种的强生(Johnson & Johnson)疫苗,其他人员接种的是Moderna Inc.的疫苗。

总体而言,在研究期间,接种疫苗预防感染的有效性预计为80%。

随着德尔塔变种病毒成为主要病毒株,新冠疫苗的有效性逐步减弱,这一研究结果存在一个重要的问题:估算的范围存在高度不确定性。研究人员报告称,在研究期间,新冠疫苗的效能为26%至84%,置信区间为95%。(财富中文网)

The effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines among frontline workers declined to 66% after the Delta variant became dominant, compared with 91% before it arose, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The vaccines are still protective, the CDC said, and the finding must be interpreted with caution, as vaccine effectiveness might wane over time and the estimates of efficacy were imprecise.

“Although these interim findings suggest a moderate reduction in the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in preventing infection, the sustained two-thirds reduction in infection risk underscores the continued importance and benefits of COVID-19 vaccination,” researchers wrote in the agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

The findings echo earlier evidence from Israel and the U.K. suggesting COVID vaccines lost some potency in preventing infections over time as the Delta variant spread. Those conclusions helped spur the Biden administration’s plan to administer booster doses to most vaccine recipients in the U.S., which is still awaiting regulators’ sign-off. The booster campaign is set to begin Sept. 20.

The observational study tracked more than 4,000 health-care workers, first responders, and other frontline personnel in eight U.S. locations across six states from December 2020 to August 2021. They were tested weekly for COVID infection, and about 83% were vaccinated.

About two-thirds of those vaccinated had received the Pfizer Inc.-BioNTech SE shot, 2% received Johnson & Johnson’s, and the rest received the Moderna Inc. vaccine.

Overall, vaccinations were estimated to be 80% effective in preventing infection during the study period.

The finding of diminished effectiveness when Delta was the dominant virus strain comes with an important caveat: The range of that estimate is highly uncertain. Researchers reported 95% confidence that the efficacy was between 26% and 84% in that period.
