In this multi-center prospective test-negative case-control study in Japan, the effectiveness of both BA.1-containing and BA.4/BA.5-containing bivalent COVID-19 mRNA vaccines against symptomatic infection during the BA.5-dominant period was high compared to no vaccination (65% and 76%) and moderate compared to monovalent vaccines administered over half a year before (46% combined).
