Abstract

We calculated attack rates for household contacts of COVID-19 patients during the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2--dominant period in Japan. Attack rates among household contacts without recent (<3 months) vaccination was lower for contacts of index patients with complete vaccination than for contacts of index patients without complete vaccination, demonstrating indirect vaccine effectiveness.
