The omicron (B. 1.1. 529) variant, first detected in the UK on Nov 27, 2021, rapidly became the dominant strain, due in part to reduced vaccine effectiveness. 1 An increase in sequenced cases of the omicron sub-lineage BA. 2 was observed in the week beginning on Jan 3, 2022. 2 BA. 2 has a growth advantage over BA. 13, 4 and has become the dominant strain in the UK at the time of writing. Neutralisation assays using monoclonal antibodies have suggested a small antigenic difference between BA. 1 and BA. 2, although sera from individuals with booster vaccinations neutralise both variants similarly. 3 The UK COVID-19 vaccination programme has been in place since Dec 8, 2020, with primary courses of two doses of either BNT162b2 (Comirnaty, Pfizer–BioNTech), ChAdOx1-S (Vaxzevria, Oxford/AstraZeneca), or mRNA-1273 (Spikevax, Moderna). Booster vaccination with either BNT162b2 or a half dose (50 µg) of mRNA-1273 was introduced on Sept 14, 2021, to adults older than 50 years and those in risk groups, and on Nov 29, 2021, to all adults. In this Comment, we estimate vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease and hospitalisation with BA. 1 and BA. 2 after one or two doses of BNT162b2, ChAdOx1-S, or mRNA-1273, and after booster doses of BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 during a period of cocirculation. We used a test-negative case-control study design. 5–8 Our analysis included all vaccines used in the UK. Vaccination status was included as an independent variable and effectiveness defined as 1 minus the odds of vaccination in cases, divided by the odds of vaccination in controls (appendix pp 1–3). Between Jan 17 and March 31, 2022, there were 1 127 517 eligible tests from symptomatic individuals, of which 265 820 were positive for BA. 1, 246 069 were positive for BA. 2, and 615 628 were negative (controls). The hospitalisation analysis included 15 043 eligible tests, of which 1662 were positive for BA. 1, 623 were positive for BA. 2, and 12 758 were controls (appendix pp 4–7).
