This study analyses COVID-19 vaccination policies across a large sample of countries and international regions at the end of the COVID-19 emergency. We compared levels of vaccination, manufacturers supplying administered doses, recommendations for age of vaccination in the healthy population, and vaccination mandates in 48 countries (OECD members, candidates and key partners). We found that on average in each country, 71.1% of the population had received ?1 dose of COVID-19 vaccine, 66.3% had completed a full vaccination schedule and 43.7 booster shots had been administered per 100 people. OECD members generally had higher levels of vaccination than other countries studied, though there were exceptions. All countries continued to recommend primary vaccination of the healthy paediatric population, except for Norway, Sweden and Denmark. 11 of 48 countries had vaccination mandatory for health care workers, whilst only Costa Rica mandated vaccination across the general population. Vaccination policies should adapt to current realities. Recommendations for ongoing booster dosing in the general population, and particularly healthy children, adolescents and young men who have very low risk of severe COVID-19 should reflect updated risk/benefit and cost-effectiveness assessments. Key results and their importance 1. Analysis of post-pandemic COVID-19 vaccine policies 2. Varied vaccination strategies found among related countries. 3. Most still recommend child and teen vaccination (Jan 2023) 4. Reevaluation required for vaccinating low-risk young males.
