Table 2.

Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95 %CI) between vaccination and the risk of hospitalization for COVID-19 and the related risk reduction by windows of follow-up. Adjustment for age, sex, region, type of residence by matching and for other variables of Table 1 (including comorbidities) using inverse probability of treatment weighting.
