The effect of COVID-19 vaccination on change in contact and implications for transmission
We estimated changes in contact rates following vaccination and inferred the joint effect of changes in vaccination and contacts on population-level transmission, finding that observed increases in contact rates were not fully offset by vaccine effects. Our work highlights the potential utility of ongoing longitudinal monitoring of contact patterns during epidemics.
