aORs were from univariate conditional logistic regression and were adjusted by gender and age.

bIndividuals who had received a heterologous booster vaccination were not included.

cORs were adjusted by age only. The reference groups for male and female subgroups were the corresponding populations in the unvaccinated group.

dORs were adjusted by gender only. The reference groups for 0–59 and ≥60-year-old subgroups were the corresponding populations in the unvaccinated group.
