Durability of the BNT162b2 XBB:1.5-adapted vaccine against JN.1 hospitalisation in Europe, October 2023 to August 2024: A test-negative case-control study using the id.DRIVE platform
- H. R. VolkmanL. de Munter K. Bollaerts
- 11 February 2026
Medicine
Despite the vaccine target not matching the predominant subvariant, BNT162b2 XBB vaccine protected against JN.1-related hospitalisation for up to 30 weeks, and an additional vaccination after six months is warranted to maintain year-round protection.

Medicine
BNT162b2 was effective among adults with specific chronic conditions, including lung disease, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, while estimates lacked precision for asthma, chronic liver disease, renal disease, type 1 diabetes, and neurological disorder.

Medicine
Despite the vaccine target not matching the predominant subvariant, BNT162b2 XBB vaccine protected against JN.1-related hospitalization for up to 30 weeks, but protection against hospitalisation was non-significant after 30 weeks since dose, potentially due to further shift in circulating SARS-CoV-2 strains and/or waning immunity.

Medicine
The findings from this review indicate that the co-administration of BNT162B2 with SIVs is both safe and effective, which highlights the value of co-administration, which could enhance vaccine uptake by streamlining immunization protocols and reducing health visits.
