Table 2.

Effectiveness in individuals aged 18–64 years in the B.1.617.2-dominant period

VE (95% CI) BNT162b2: one dose ≥21 d ChAdOx1: one dose ≥21 d BNT162b2: second dose 0–13 d ago ChAdOx1: second dose 0–13 d ago BNT162b2: second dose ≥14 d ChAdOx1: second dose ≥14 d Not vaccinated, previously positivea

aRe-infection will be a variable amount of time previously, but it was not possible to split this owing to low numbers.

Note: All estimates (VE = 100% × (1 odds ratio)) as shown in Fig. 1 were obtained from a generalized linear model with a logit link comparing to the reference category of ‘Not vaccinated, not previously positive and ≥21 d before vaccination’ and using clustered robust standard errors. Heterogeneity P values were obtained using the two-sided Wald test without adjustment for multiple comparisons. See Supplementary Table 5 for unadjusted heterogeneity P values. See Table 1 for estimates in individuals ≥18 years of age in both B.1.1.7-dominant and B.1.617.2-dominant periods. VE post-second doses changes over time from vaccination (Fig. 2 and Extended Data Figs. 4 and 5), so estimates in this table are an average over follow-up included in this analysis.
