Abstract

We investigate the distribution of numbers of secondary cases in households in the Office for National Statistics COVID-19 Infection Survey (ONS CIS), stratified by timing of vaccination and infection in the households. This shows a total effect of a statistically significant approximate halving of the secondary attack rate in households following vaccination.
