Abstract: The first dose of COVID-19 vaccines led to an overall reduction in cardiovascular events, and in rare cases, cardiovascular complications. There is less information about the effect of second and booster doses on cardiovascular diseases. Using longitudinal health records from 45.7 million adults in England between December 2020 and January 2022, our study compared the incidence of thrombotic and cardiovascular complications up to 26 weeks after first, second and booster doses of brands and combinations of COVID-19 vaccines used during the UK vaccination program with the incidence before or without the corresponding vaccination. The incidence of common arterial thrombotic events (mainly acute myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke) was generally lower after each vaccine dose, brand and combination. Similarly, the incidence of common venous thrombotic events, (mainly pulmonary embolism and lower limb deep venous thrombosis) was lower after vaccination. There was a higher incidence of previously reported rare harms after vaccination: vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia after first ChAdOx1 vaccination, and myocarditis and pericarditis after first, second and transiently after booster mRNA vaccination (BNT-162b2 and mRNA-1273). These findings support the wide uptake of future COVID-19 vaccination programs.

This study was also supported by core funding from the: British Heart Foundation (RG/18/13/33946), NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre (BRC-1215-20014; NIHR203312) [*], Cambridge BHF Centre of Research Excellence (RE/18/1/34212), BHF Chair Award (CH/12/2/29428) and by Health Data Research UK, which receives its funding from HDR UK Ltd (HDR-9006), which is funded by the UK Medical Research Council, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Economic and Social Research Council, Department of Health and Social Care (England), Chief Scientist Office of the Scottish Government Health and Social Care Directorates, Health and Social Care Research and Development Division (Welsh Government), Public Health Agency (Northern Ireland), British Heart Foundation and the Wellcome Trust. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) Data Science Centre, led by Health Data Research (HDR) UK (BHF Grant no. SP/19/3/34678, awarded to HDR UK) also supported this work. This study made use of de-identified data held in NHS England’s Secure Data Environment service for England and made available via the BHF Data Science Centre’s CVD-COVID-UK/COVID-IMPACT consortium. This work used data provided by patients and collected by the NHS as part of their care and support. We would also like to acknowledge all data providers who make health relevant data available for research. The BHF Data Science Centre funded co-development (with NHS England) of the Secure Data Environment service for England, provision of linked datasets, data access, user software licenses, computational usage, and data management and wrangling support, with additional contributions from the HDR UK Data and Connectivity component of the UK Government Chief Scientific Adviser’s National Core Studies programme to coordinate national COVID-19 priority research. Consortium partner organisations funded the time of contributing data analysts, biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and clinicians. Further support came from the Con-COV team funded by the Medical Research Council (grant number: MR/V028367/1) and the ADR Wales programme, part of the ADR UK investment, which unites expertise from Swansea University Medical School, WISERD at Cardiff University, and Welsh Government analysts. ADR UK is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), part of UK Research and Innovation.
