This study aims to use vaccination information from state vaccine registries linked with HealthVerity insurance claims for the following: * to measure how effective the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is at preventing post-COVID conditions. * to understand characteristics of patients who are receiving COVID-19 vaccines. All patients whose information is kept unidentified in the HealthVerity database are eligible to be included for both aims of this study.

Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine
The effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine in preventing post-COVID health conditions will be assessed (Aim 1). To do this, a retrospective cohort time-to-event design will be employed. Patients will be observed until an endpoint (post-COVID related condition) or a censoring event (BNT162b2 vaccine, Other COVID-19 vaccinations formulated for 2023-2024 respiratory season, moderate/severe immunocompromised condition, or pregnancy). All eligible patients are considered unvaccinated (unexposed) at cohort entry. Patients then continue to contribute person-time to the time-to-event model as the study progresses. Patient data will be gathered from HealthVerity, including those enrolled in the claims database, and supplemented with information from the state's deidentified vaccine registry. Only patients eligible to receive the vaccine during the study period will be included in the analysis of post-COVID health conditions. The second part of the study (Aim 2) will use a retrospective cohort design to examine the uptake of the vaccine in specific groups over time. Subjects will be identified through three different methods: 1) by analyzing all available dosing records in the Immunization Registry, 2) by using HealthVerity claims data based on specific calendar time periods when the vaccine was available, or 3) based on the start of pregnancy that occurs after EUA date. Patients will be followed until experiencing the vaccination under study, disenrollment, end of data or death. Vaccinations will be assessed overall and also by specific type of prior dose (mRNA vs other).
