Based on complete case responses (N = 752); responses “yes” or “received vaccine” combined is the reference group for the outcome.

aOR = adjusted odds ratio.

Underlying conditions include asthma, blood disorders, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema, immunosuppression, liver disease, heart disease, diabetes, neurologic conditions or aspirin therapy.
