a

Cohorts were exact matched in a 1:3 ratio by sex, 5-year age group, nationality, and calendar week of first vaccine dose.

b

Standard errors of failure functions were used to derive the 95% CIs of the absolute difference in cumulative incidence at different follow-up times.

c

Hazard ratios were adjusted by sex, 5-year age group, 10 nationality groups (described in Tables 1 and 2), and calendar week of first vaccine dose.
