Long COVID symptoms at month 6 by vaccination status: observed and model-based estimates

Descriptive statistics Observed Logistic regression
Odds ratio (95% CI) P value Odds ratio (95% CI) P value
Base Case: ≥ 3 symptoms
 Boosted vs Unvaccinated 10 (14.9%) versus 54 (44.6%) 0.22 (0.10, 0.47)  < 0.001 0.36 (0.15, 0.87) 0.019
 Primed vs. Unvaccinated 27 (37.5%) versus 54 (44.6%) 0.74 (0.41, 1.35) 0.332 0.60 (0.27, 1.34) 0.296
 Boosted vs Primed 10 (14.9%) versus 27 (37.5%) 0.29 (0.13, 0.67) 0.003 0.59 (0.21, 1.65) 0.459
Sensitivity: ≥ 2 symptoms
 Boosted vs Unvaccinated 14 (20.9%) versus 66 (54.5%) 0.22 (0.11, 0.44)  < 0.001 0.30 (0.13, 0.70) 0.003
 Primed vs. Unvaccinated 35 (48.6%) versus 66 (54.5%) 0.79 (0.44, 1.41) 0.425 0.64 (0.30, 1.39) 0.370

Note for logistic regression model: the logistic regression model for number of post-COVID ≥ 3 versus < 3 used GEE estimation with unstructured correlation matrix. Covariates were variables for time, vaccination status and interaction of time by vaccination status, as well as covariates of participant pre-COVID-19 symptom onset score, sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, regions, social vulnerability, race/ethnicity, high risk occupations), previously tested positive for COVID-19, severity of acute illness (number of symptoms reported on index date), and immunocompromised status
