Disentangling the force of infection of SARS-CoV-2 in Dutch long-term care facilities
Relative contributions to the FOI in LTCF residents varied substantially over time. COVID-19 vaccination appears to have been effective in reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission towards residents, although other factors such as seasonality or non-pharmaceutical interventions may also have contributed to this. Such estimates of temporal trends in contributions to the FOI in LTCF residents can help inform future intervention efforts.
