Table 4. Protective effect of a first typhoid visit against recurrent typhoid due to reinfection in the non-Vi vaccinated population including in-migrants post-vaccination (n = 47,995).

†In cohort 1, person-days calculated from zero time (date of vaccination with placebo or for non-dosed individuals, the median zero time for the cluster of residence at the time of vaccination, or date of entry for in-migrants post-vaccination) to end date, which is defined as date of study end, out-migration, or onset of the first typhoid visit. In cohort 2, person-days are calculated from the date of first typhoid visit to the date of study end, out-migration, death, or onset of the subsequent typhoid visit.

‡ Fitted a generalized proportional hazard model (AG model). The number of previous infections (0 or 1) was included in the model as a dummy variable; the reference group was the group with no previously detected typhoid visit. The hazard ratio was adjusted for age at date of entry.

§ Pairwise SNP difference >5

∥ Discordance in antibiotic susceptibility between infection pair >0
