Background: The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that subsequent doses of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine are associated with lower incidence of COVID-19-like symptoms at 6 weeks after infection. Methods: This study was a case-control analysis of health care personnel in an ongoing multicenter COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness study. We enrolled participants at the time of COVID-19-like symptoms between December 19, 2021, and April 27, 2022, which corresponded to the early Omicron-predominant period after original monovalent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 additional vaccination doses became available. Our outcome was self-reported symptoms completed 6 weeks after the onset of symptoms. Results: We enrolled 2478 participants, of whom 1422 (57%) had COVID-19. The prevalence of symptoms at 6 weeks was 26% (n = 373) in those with COVID-19 and 18% (n = 195) in those without COVID-19. Fatigue (11%) and difficulty sleeping (7%) were most strongly associated with COVID-19. A total of 1643 (66%) participants received a subsequent vaccine dose (after the primary series). Participants with COVID-19 who had received a subsequent vaccination had lower odds of symptoms at 6 weeks (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.55; 95% CI, 0.43-0.70), but this relationship was not observed in those without COVID-19 (aOR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.59-1.29). Conclusions: Health care personnel who received subsequent doses of original monovalent COVID-19 vaccine had a lower prevalence of symptoms at 6 weeks than those that did not.
