Lay summary

UK COVID-19 vaccination policy moved from broad rollout to targeted seasonal vaccination. This study assesses the impact of the 2024/25 policy change on winter 2025/26 hospital admissions and healthcare use among older adults and clinical risk groups.

Public benefit statement

This retrospective cohort study will evaluate the impact of the change in COVID-19 vaccination policy. It will compare the pre-policy autumn/winter season (2024/25) to post-policy autumn/winter season (2025/26). The primary objective will be used to assess the effect that the policy change has on all-cause inpatient admissions by comparing outcome rates among patient groups in the pre-policy (2024/25) autumn/winter season with the post-policy season (2025/26).
