Reliable VE estimates are essential for effective communication and planning of scarce resources. It is important to assess concordance between pooled European data [2] and national estimates, to evaluate on the one hand whether pooling indeed provides more robust estimates, and on the other hand, to explore potential geographical variation in such estimates.
