effectiveness of vaccines

How is Vaccine Effectiveness Measured?

Vaccine effectiveness is typically measured through observational studies, including cohort studies and case-control studies. These studies compare the incidence of disease among vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. The effectiveness is calculated using the formula:
Vaccine Effectiveness (%) = (1 - Relative Risk) x 100
Where Relative Risk is the ratio of the incidence rate in the vaccinated group to the incidence rate in the unvaccinated group.
