Adjusted risk ratios: Inverse probability weighting was used to adjust the probability of previous SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis by age, gender, race/ethnicity, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal disease, hypertension, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, dementia, cognitive function, mortality risk and physical function.

Note: Residents with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test within 20 days of vaccination (because they should not have been vaccinated), or who were on monoclonal antibodies within 90 days of vaccination were excluded. Previous SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis or positive test were 21 or more days before vaccination. Symptoms presented within the 5 days before or up to 14 days after the previous SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis or positive test.
