Vaccines offer the best opportunity for bringing the COVID-19 pandemic under control. Several vaccines have now been authorised in multiple countries on the basis of demonstrated safety and efficacy in large-scale phase 3 trials. 1, 2 On Dec 8, 2020, the COVID-19 vaccine programme kicked off in the UK with the introduction of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2). Within a month, the Oxford-AstraZeneca ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) adenoviral vector vaccine had also been deployed. Compelling evidence from large-scale postimplementation observation studies has shown that COVID-19 vaccination programmes have substantially reduced COVID-19-related hospitalisation in the UK and Israel. 3, 4 Furthermore, BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 appear to offer greater protection against severe disease than symptomatic disease—the primary endpoint used in the phase 3 trials. 5 Rapid and detailed post-marketing surveillance of COVID-19 vaccine safety and effectiveness is now required to enable assessment of the realworld impact of COVID-19 vaccination programmes, 1, 2 particularly in light of the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. 6
