Data are from the multivariate logistic regression analysis model. IgM antibodies were detected in very few individuals and for only a short time and are therefore not included in the table. ref=reference value. BMI=body-mass index. ..=data not available.

*

IgG >0·62, IgA >1·1, and neutralising antibodies >10 were considered positive.

Week 3 refers to the week that the second vaccination dose was administered. Week 4 refers to the week following the second vaccination dose.

IgA and neutralising antibodies were assessed in the enriched subgroup and not the full cohort.

§

Global p value.

Immunosuppression included organ transplantation; being on biologic therapy, chemotherapy, or steroids; and splenectomy.
