a

Events post SARS-CoV-2 infection were defined as diagnosis within 1–21 days of positive test.

b

Background risk were calculated from the hospital episode database for the year 2019 and Malaysian population as the denominator and standardised to 21 days.

c

Risk ratio was calculated as risk per 100,000 persons for the respective cohort (BNT162b2, CoronaVac, ChAdOx1, and SARS-CoV-2 infection) divided by risk in the population for the year 2019 (background 2019).
