Hospitalizations due to Covid-19 two weeks after the 2nd injection (n)h 1 2 7 1
a

Incidence per 100,000.

b

Hazard ratios (HR) and their confidence intervals (α error = 0.025) derived from cox proportional hazard model.

c

HRs from cox proportional hazard model adjusted for age, sex, education.

d

HRs from cox proportional hazard model adjusted for age, sex, education, and week of the first injection.

e

HRs from cox proportional hazard model adjusted for age, sex, education, week of the first injection, and history of covid-19.

f

HRs from cox proportional hazard model adjusted for age, sex, education, week of the first injection, and history of covid-19 taking into account the information fraction using O'Brien-Fleming method (α error = 0.009).

g

Previous Covid-19 infection was defined as a history of positive PCR test or lung CT scan confirmed by a health professional.

h

All patients were recovered and discharged with no reports of ICU admission and mortality.
