Data are adjusted (for age, sex, previous history of COVID-19, Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, urban–rural classification, number of risk groups, care home residence, number of previous COVID-19 tests [a proxy for high-risk occupational groups], smoking status, previous history of hospitalisation [admission to hospital within 4 weeks before vaccination], and time since first vaccination) RR (95% CI). RR=rate ratio.

*

Previous history of hospitalisation status defined as admission to hospital within 4 weeks before first dose of vaccine.
