BACKGROUND: The associations between COVID-19 vaccination and post-COVID psychiatric disorders are unclear. Furthermore, it is uncertain if these associations differ depending on the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variant at the time of infection. This retrospective cohort study aimed to clarify the associations between COVID-19 vaccination and incident psychiatric disorders after breakthrough infection according to the different variant periods in Japan.

METHODS: Medical claims data, COVID-19 case-related information, and vaccination records were collected from three Japanese municipalities. The study population comprised public insurance enrollees aged ≥65 years who developed COVID-19 between June 2021 and December 2022. The study exposure was each participant's vaccination status 14 days before infection, and the outcomes were the occurrence of psychiatric disorders within three months of infection. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) of vaccination for the occurrence of psychiatric disorders. Analyses were conducted for the Delta period (June to December 2021), Omicron BA.1/BA.2 period (January to June 2022), and Omicron BA.5 period (July to December 2022).

RESULTS: We analyzed 270 participants (vaccinated: 149) in the Delta period, 2,963 participants (vaccinated: 2,699) in the Omicron BA.1/BA.2 period, and 7,723 participants (vaccinated: 7,159) in the Omicron BA.5 period. During the Delta period, vaccinated participants had significantly lower odds for psychotic disorders (OR: 0.23, 95 % CI: 0.06-0.88, P = 0.032) than unvaccinated participants. During the Omicron BA.5 period, vaccinated participants had significantly lower odds for organic mental disorders (OR: 0.54, 95 % CI: 0.30-0.95, P = 0.033), psychotic disorders (OR: 0.31, 95 % CI: 0.19-0.53, P < 0.001), mood disorders (OR: 0.53, 95 % CI: 0.29-0.99, P = 0.046), and insomnia (OR: 0.48, 95 % CI: 0.32-0.72, P < 0.001) than unvaccinated participants. There were no significant differences in psychiatric disorders between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups during the Omicron BA.1/BA.2 period.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to demonstrate that the associations between COVID-19 vaccination and post-COVID psychiatric disorders vary among the different variant periods. Future studies on these associations should be conducted with consideration to the prevalent circulating variants.
