Abstract

According to the literature vaccination is currently an effective method in preventing severe COVID-19, hospitalization, and death from it. Research on the effectiveness of approved vaccines is important for the development of public health strategies and measures to protect the population from COVID-19.

The aim: to analyze the possible impact of vaccination (the type of vaccine received and the vaccination course) on the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 in hospitalized vaccinated patients who contracted COVID-19 for the first time.

Materials and methods: the study included 129 hospitalized vaccinated patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. According to the severity of the disease, patients were divided into two groups: moderate and severe. According to the type of vaccine received, two comparison groups were identified: patients who received mRNA vaccines (Pfizer/Moderna) and patients who received an inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac). All patients were also divided into those who received a full (2 doses) or partial (1 dose) course of vaccination.

Results: The majority of patients who were vaccinated had moderately severe disease (p=0.0001). In fact, in the structure of all vaccinated patients, regardless of the severity of the course, the group of those who received vaccination with the inactivated CoronaVac vaccine significantly prevailed (p=0.0004).
