The findings are based on a cohort belonging to a large health provider in Israel (n=1.2 million), of which 74% had reached the protection period. Vaccine effectiveness when comparing an infection occurring during the protection period versus in the reference period were lower among immunosuppressed participants (71%) and those aged \u226565 years (82%), with lowest vaccine effectiveness in immunosuppressed participants aged \u226565 years (52%). The immunosuppressed category included a variety of conditions such as hematopoetic or solid organ transplant, patients under immunosuppressive therapy, asplenia, and chronic renal failure.
