a

Numbers are not separated in the study. For the study by McMurry et al., the data were extracted from the preprint where numbers were not yet separated for Pfizer and Moderna.

b

Cases/person days: Number of lymphadenopathy cases over an estimate of the actual time‐at‐risk in days that all persons contributed to the study. The study only reported this value as it looked into ED notes at a specific time period rather than a specific cohort of people.
