Abbreviation: CI: Confidence Interval

*Due to missing values in each of the covariates and exclusion of minor categories (i.e. non-binary gender, rare combinations of vaccines received) the number of participants reduces from 1201 participants with three vaccines received to 1124

**Bold represents p < 0.05

***These include: 1 dose ChAdOx1-S, 1 dose BNT162b2 + mRNA-1273 booster, 2 doses mRNA-1273 + BNT162b2 booster, 2 doses BNT162b2 + mRNA-1273 booster, 2 doses ChAdOx1-S + mRNA-1273 booster
