aIRR, adjusted incident rate ratio. n = 237.

a

Model adjusted for age, sex, transplant type, time since transplant, anti-metabolite maintenance immunosuppression, and vaccine type. Comparison of mRNA-1273 and BNT16b2 was further adjusted for number of days between vaccination and antibody testing.

b

Age treated as continuous.

c

Comparison of heart (reference) vs lung transplant recipients.

d

Comparison of 6 or more years since transplant vs less than 6 years since transplant.

e

Antimetabolite maintenance immunosuppressive regimens included mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolic acid, and azathioprine.

f

Comparison of mRNA-1273 (reference) BNT162b2 vaccine.
