The early impact of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in Region Stockholm, Sweden

Abstract Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 started in Region Stockholm, Sweden in December 2020 with those in long-term care facilities or receiving home care vaccinated first followed by those aged over 80 years. In this population-based, retrospective cohort study, we performed a Poisson regression to model the expected incidence of infections and deaths which we compared to the observed incidence and compared this to an unvaccinated control group of those aged 18-79 years. The aim of this study was to measure the early impact of the vaccination programme in Region Stockholm.Infections and deaths reduced substantially amongst the first two groups targeted for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with an estimated total 3112 infections prevented, and 854 deaths prevented in these two groups from 4 weeks after the introduction of vaccination through to 2nd May 2021..
