a Incidence per 100,000 vaccinated persons (95% confidence interval (CI) not available) within 21 days after first and second vaccine dose; interval between first and second dose: 21 days

b Incidence per 100,000 vaccinated persons (95% CI) within 42 days after first vaccine dose; interval between first and second dose: 21 days

c Incidence per 100,000 vaccinated persons (95% CI) within 28 days after first or second vaccine dose; median interval between first and second dose: 35 days

d Incidence per 100,000 doses administered (95% CI) within 7 days after first and second vaccine dose; interval between first and second dose: not available. Since original results were calculated per 1,000,000 doses administered, the incidence was divided by ten to calculate the incidence per 100,000 doses administered

e Incidence per 100,000 vaccinated persons (95% CI) within 14 days after first and second vaccine dose; interval between first and second dose: not available
