Summary:  Let $\varphi$ be an analytic map from the unit disk into itself, $X$ a complex infinite-dimensional Banach space and $2 \leqslant p < \infty$. It is shown that the composition operator $C_\varphi\colon f \mapsto f \circ \varphi$ is bounded $wH^p(X) \to H^p(X)$ if and only if $C_\varphi$ is a Hilbert--Schmidt operator $H^2 \to H^2$. Here $H^p(X)$ is the $X$-valued Hardy space and $wH^p(X)$ is a related weak vector-valued Hardy space. A similar result is established for vector-valued Bergman spaces.
