CI: confidence interval; COVID-19: coronavirus disease; OR: odds ratio; SARS: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

a SARS-CoV-2 infections included were at least 90 days before the case date recorded in the study period.

b Protection was estimated as 100 x (1– OR).

c Not possible to estimate CI.

Estimates were obtained from conditional logistic regression with adjustment for comorbidities (0, 1, ≥ 2).

The following vaccines were used during the study period: Comirnaty (BNT162b2 mRNA, BioNTech-Pfizer), Spikevax (mRNA-1273, Moderna), Vaxzevria (ChAdOx1-S, AstraZeneca).
